The Map Length tab contains the following elements:
This plot displays for each input linkage group Z (where
Z is the input linkage group name) the map length (
y-axis) versus the chromosome index (
x-axis). Each colored filled-circle represents the map length for a given chromosome index.
Note: The name for a chromosome index for the consensus map is defined by a concatenation of input linkage group name, a dot, the word
Consensus (if the map is a consensus output), a dot, and the maximum interval window used to build the consensus map (if the map is a consensus output). For example, if the input linkage group name is
1H and the map is a consensus output build with maximum interval window of 2, then the chromosome index is
1H.Consensus.mw2. Chromosome indexes for the original input linkage groups are likewise defined, however, with the word consensus replaced by the name of the input map file, and without maximum interval window. For example, if an input linkage group has name
1H, and it is coming from an input file named
mb.sas7bdat, then its chromosome index is
1H.mb.
