Creation of chromosome 8 via scaffolds, genetic markers, and ALLMAPS.

Left, the 9 black sequences (vertical bars) adjacent to chromosome 8 represent the genetic marker maps that anchored our assembly scaffolds. The lines in pink, orange, and green represent genetic markers from different marker maps. Each map has a different number of markers at various densities as shown in the black lines stacked in vertical bars. Most of the information used to construct chromosome 8 came from a single input map with a highly linear marker alignment as illustrated in pink. The other two input maps with a strong influence on the construction of chromosome 8 are shown in green and orange. Interestingly, some of the input maps align in reverse order to the genome position (e.g., the bottom left map and the two bottom right maps) but lacking a strong influence on the construction of the chromosome. Right, the tracks show the alignment between marker and scaffold placement, in most cases displaying a linear marker order consistency.
