Each page in order presents the connections between the physical positions on the assembled chromosome and the linkage map positions on the left panel and the scatter plots of the physical position against the genetic position on the two linkage maps on the right panel. Boxes of alternating shades represent the contigs within the assembled chromosome. The r-value on each plot is the Pearson correlation coefficient between the SNP positions on the physical and linkage maps.<b></b><i></i><br>
