Marker names are located to the left of each linkage map.
Chromosome numbers are presented on the top of each linkage group, marker names are presented on the right side of each linkage group, and their intervals in cM are presented on the left side of the linkage group.
To give meaning to the graphical analysis, each node should be visible, directionality and intensity of each linkage must be noticeable and clusters and outliers must be identifiable.
The linkage group numbers, length of each linkage group and number of loci mapped on the linkage group are indicated on top.
Triangles and boxes to the right of each linkage map represent LOD peaks of putative QTLs and their 1-LOD support intervals (van Ooijen 1992), respectively.
Three to five SSR markers located in the distal ends of each linkage group were selected to screen a fosmid library developed from inbred line 9930.
The short arm/long arm orientation of each linkage group could be established based on the positions of fosmid FISH analysis.
When searching the most distant STS and MS markers of each linkage group against the N. vitripennis genome, we found that all of them lie in genome regions that are covered by our high-density linkage map.
The estimated physical size of each linkage group is based on the length of each linkage group in centimorgans.
The thickness of the lines connecting each of the concepts represents the strength of each linkage.
The length of each linkage group ranged from 97.6 cM (LG6a) to 186.5 cM (LG1b).
