Coassortment map of a segment of the left arm of chromosome 1. (Thick bar) A continuous MIC chromosome segment; (open segments) MIC-limited sequences, absent from the MAC; (tick marks) genetic loci. The order of loci shown in boldface type has been determined with log odds >3.0; the order of loci within brackets remains uncertain at that level of statistical significance. Loci emanating from a single point so far have shown no recombination with one another. (Solid thin bars) MAC coassortment groups, such that two loci within a group coassort with one another, and two loci on different groups assort independently of one another. The sizes of two coassortment groups already physically related to ARPs (Longcor et al. 1996) are shown in megabase pairs. Technical description of the DNA polymorphisms is available in Orias (1997).
