Summary

Five bovine paternal half-sib pedigrees for a total of 527 individuals were typed for six blood group systems, confirming the observation previously made by Andersson et al. (1988) of a high recombination rate between class II genes DQ and DY, suggesting either a larger physical distance between those genes than expected from comparative data, or the presence of a 'recombinational hotspot' in the bovines major histocompatibility complex.
