title: Integration of the PiGMaP and USDA maps for porcine chromosome 14.
abstract: In order to align two previously published genetic linkage maps, a set of four of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) microsatellite linkage markers was mapped in the International Pig Gene Mapping Project (PiGMaP) reference families. Two-point linkage analysis was used between these USDA markers and the set of genes and markers previously mapped on the PiGMaP chromosome 14 map. Markers with threshold lod scores of three or greater were used for multipoint map construction. The USDA and PigGMaP linkage maps of chromosome 14 were aligned using the four USDA microsatellite markers along with three markers that are common to both maps. The PiGMaP genetic linkage map order for chromosome 14 was confirmed and the map was expanded to 193 cM with addition of the new markers.
