[i] The size of individual chromosomes in megabasepairs (Mbp) is deduced from the relative length of the chromosomes (ISCNH 1997) and presuming a genome size of 3000 Mbp. Anchor loci represent cytogenetically mapped type I or type II markers that align RH groups to chromosomes. Total number of loci used for horse-human-mouse genome-wide comparison includes all type I loci mapped by RH analysis and FISH (see text).
