An Integrated Genetic Map for Linkage Analysis

Behavior Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Here I describe an Internet accessible database containing interpolated genetic map positions for 12917 marker loci. These are estimated via locally weighted linear regression (loess) from the Build 35.1 physical map position and the linkage map of Kong, X., and coworkers (2004) Am. J. Hum. Genet. 75:1143–1148. For the pseudoautosomal region, I have interpolated a male map based on the sperm typing data of Lien, S., and coworkers (2000) Am. J. Hum. Genet. 66:557–566.
