Introduction
The trait values that you enter are statistically compared with verified genotypes collected at a set of microsatellite markers in each RI set. The markers are drawn from a set of over 750, but for each set redundant markers have been removed, preferentially retaining those that are most informative.
These error-checked RI mapping data match theoretical expectations for RI strain sets. The cumulative adjusted length of the RI maps are approximately 1400 cM, a value that matches those of both MIT maps and Chromosome Committee Report maps. See our full description of the genetic data collected as part of the WebQTL project.
