Figure 1Evaluation of a chromosome sequence (STS) map

Potential inconsistencies in the order or orientation of sequence blocks can be investigated by displaying a genetic map (Marshfield), radiation hybrid map (TNG), and sequence map (STS) together and checking the Show connections box in the Maps & Options window. Note that some of the gray lines (connecting the same marker on different maps) are crossed, indicating that either the placement is incorrect on a map or the chromosome sequence is not ordered and oriented consistently with all map data.
