↵a The number of markers used for e-PCR mapping to the rat genome sequence includes all available microsatellites, including 1289 markers previously defined by a D-Number nomenclature (e.g., D0Got, D0Mco) that could not be assigned to a rat chromosome by genetic or RH mapping
-
↵b The average distance between markers in the genomic sequence was calculated with the chromosome length determined in the June 2003 rat genome assembly, and includes above-described markers that are only mapped by e-PCR
-
↵c Details of markers that are assigned to different chromosomes by linkage or RH mapping and e-PCR are available in our data repository (http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/rat_mapping_resources)
