Items 1 to 8 of 8.
Map Type: Bin
Accession ID: bin
Map Units: bins
Is Relational Only: No
Appearance: lightgrey box
Description: Bins are arbitrarily-defined segments delimited by two fixed core markers. A bin includes all loci from the leftmost or top core marker to the next core marker.

Map Type: Deletion
Accession ID: deletion
Map Units: arm fraction
Is Relational Only: No
Appearance: lightgrey box
Description: The deletion-based cytogenetic map of an organism is a type of low-resolution physical map. It is constructed using a "genome deletion panel" which consists of a series (or collection) of mutant lines containing sub-chromosomal deletions and a reference wild-type line. Markers can be mapped onto the genome using this panel (by Southern hybridization or by PCR) based on the presence or absence of signal when comparing the banding pattern in the mutants lines with the pattern in the wild type. Linked markers (present in the same deleted region) share the same banding pattern (presence or absence) on the deletion panel.

Map Type: Sequence
Accession ID: sequence
Map Units: bp
Is Relational Only: No
Appearance: lightgrey I-beam
Description: The sequence map is a summarized representation of the contiguous, assembled genomic sequence of an organism in a linear map format.

Map Type: Stacked
Accession ID: stacked
Map Units: maps
Is Relational Only: No
Appearance: lightgrey box
Description: A collapsed, ordered, stacked version of a larger physical map.

Map Type: Cytogenetic
Accession ID: cytogenetic
Map Units: cMc
Is Relational Only: No
Appearance: lightgrey box
Description: A cytogenetic map is produced by direct observation of stained or labeled chromosomes. Map units are given in fraction of a chromosomal arm or centiMcClintocks (cMc).

Map Type: QTL
Accession ID: qtl
Map Units: cM
Is Relational Only: No
Appearance: lightgrey I-beam
Description: The QTL map is a type of genetic map which indicates the approximate location of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) within an interval delineated by two or more markers on a genetic map.

Map Type: Genetic
Accession ID: genetic
Map Units: cM
Is Relational Only: No
Appearance: lightgrey box
Description: The genetic map is a representation of a meiotic-recombination map based on analysis of marker segregation in a population of offspring derived from a bi-parental cross. Marker polymorphism between the parents is required to monitor recombination among loci along a chromosome.

Map Type: Physical
Accession ID: physical
Map Units: bands
Is Relational Only: Yes
Appearance: lightgrey dumbbell
Description: The physical map, as used in the Maps Module, is a representation of the collection of cloned DNA fragments that make up a genome, ordered with respect to a reference map (such as genetic map). A genome-sequencing project orders and assembles this collection in its different stages towards obtaining a full genome sequence.
