title: Regional assignment of genetic markers using a somatic cell hybrid panel: a WWW interactive program available for the pig genome.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Quick and easy gene mapping by the use of a panel of cytogenetically characterized somatic cell hybrids is possible, even if some discordant experimental results arise.
  
  
  RESULTS
  An interactive program is proposed and is made available on a WWW site to users of a somatic cell hybrid panel. Assignments to chromosomes and subchromosomal regions are based on likelihood calculations and Bayes' theorem, and a confidence level is provided. The method is illustrated in the case of the pig genome.
