BAC/BIBAC contigs of the soybean physical map containing DNA markers selected from the MLG D1a of the existing soybean composite genetic map (http://soybase.agron.iastate.edu/; Cregan et al. 1999a). The soybean genetic map consists of 20 molecular linkage groups (MLGs). The DNA markers used are listed in the middle column, positions (centimorgans) of the markers in the linkage group in the left column, and the contig(s) containing the marker in the right column of the linkage group. The letter “s” indicates singleton. Note that the contigs shown in rectangles were hybridized with two or more neighboring DNA markers, seven SSRmarkers each were hybridized to only one contig, and two SSRmarkers each were anchored to a singleton. A total of 10 contigs were unambiguously anchored to the genetic map, whereas the exact positions of the remaining contigs remain to be further refined. The names of the DNA markers were after Cregan et al. (1999a) and http://soybase.agron.iastate.edu/, the markers prefixed with “Satt,” “Sat,” or “Sct” representing SSRmarkers and the remaining markers being RFLP markers. The markers suffixed with _1, _2, or _3 indicate that they reside at two or more loci in the soybean genome.
