  • The number of primary anchors and microsatellites mapped to each chromosome is indicated. Percent MIT indicates the proportion of Whitehead/MIT microsatellites available to us at the time of mapping that were added to the EUCIB genetic map. In addition, the numbers of marker bins for each chromosome is given along with the genetic map length (the distance between the most proximal and distal anchors mapped–see Methods).
