The phrase "average map length" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to data analysis, computer science, or geographic information systems where you are discussing the typical length of a map or a representation of data.
Example: "In our study, we calculated the average map length to determine the efficiency of our routing algorithms."
Alternatives: "mean map length" or "typical map length".
Only genetic maps where the numbers of linkage groups correspond to the haploid chromosome number were used to estimate global recombination rate, and we used multiple maps for each species and calculated recombination rate from average map lengths (Additional file 1: Table S2).
In the nucDNA, 802 distinct regions show homology to mtDNA; the average mapping length of these regions is 39 nt.
The average map interval length on remaining rye maps exceeds 4.0 cM [ 2], in the majority of maps it is greater than 7 cM, i.e. 7.4 [ 6], 7.9 [ 4], 9.9 [ 7], 12.2 [ 8].
Markers are provisionally mapped, using the regression mapping method, yielding 10 linkage groups in each family, as expected, with total lengths ranging from 508 to 690 cM and an average total map length of 588 cM (Table 2).
The PHS statistic estimates the average genetic map length of shared haplotypes around a given allele, with significance evaluated by comparison to shared haplotype length for that position across all individuals.
On average, 97.1% of the reads and 98.4% of the bases mapped to the reference sequence for each case (Table S2) which corresponded to an average coverage (redundant and non-redundant sequences) of 1,300× and to an average mapped read length of 373 bases (range: 355 to 380 bases) (Table 1).
Total map length, average distance between adjacent markers, and the linkage map coverage of the genome constructed from reciprocal F2 and BC1F1 populations was variable in the different mapping populations (Table 1).
Table 1 shows the number of microsatellites analysed for each family, the number of LGs they covered in the genetic map, the map length, the average distance between microsatellites and the average number of microsatellites per linkage group.
Table 1 shows the number of analyzed microsatellites, the number of linkage groups, the map length, the average distance between microsatellites and the average number of microsatellites per linkage group.
