Locus:
Name of gene identified by mutation, arranged in alphabetical
order, and written in CAPS and without italics to avoid
confusion between numbers and letters. Genes marked with
an asterisk are known by more than one name. Synonyms for
these genes are included in the table but are marked with
(=) in the second (#) column.
#:
Chromosome where gene is located. When two different numbers
are included, the mutant gene exhibits linkage to markers on
different chromosomes. An equal sign (=) denotes synonyms as
explained above.
Status:
This column summarizes the current status of linkage data:
CM: Gene placed on classical map.Cloned:
AV: Location approximated with visible markers.
AM: Location approximated with molecular markers.
AVM: Location approximated with visible and molecular markers.
LO: Gene assigned to linkage group only.
U: Nature and extent of mapping data unresolved.
**: Recent addition; analysis pending.
Map:
Estimated location (cM) of locus on classical genetic map.
Numbers marked with an asterisk refer to
genes that were initially placed on the recombinant inbred
map based on data with molecular markers. To compensate for
map expansion of RI chromosomes, the estimated location of
a given locus on the RI map was multiplied by the following
constant:
(length of classical chromosome) / (length of RI chromosome)in order to estimate the corresponding location on the classical map. These values for each chromosome were:
Linked Marker:
Linked visible or molecular marker with recombination
data available. In some cases, data with more than
one marker are included.
% Rec:
Recombination percentage between locus and linked marker.
A = locus is above linked marker; B = locus is below linked marker.
