(FSD) FPC Simulated Digest, (BSS) Blast Some Sequence, (BES) BAC End Sequence, (GRC) Gene Rich Contig, (WGS) Whole Genome Shotgun.
a The GRC, WGS, and Draft would all be treated as markers in BSS, i.e., use the BSS Marker→Sequence and Marker→BES. Sequence refers to BAC-based sequence.
b Interactive mode allows the user to add one marker at a time after confirming the marker by the BSS report and sequence alignment. Batch mode adds all markers at once, based on a user specified filter.
c A marker added for a BES or for draft sequence may not be of interest for the release version of the database, in which case, a copy of the FPC database can be made for the intermediate results.
