Planned Additions

Constructing these pages can be rather time consuming (though fun!). Therefore I have only put here what I could construct in a reasonable amount of time. At a later date I hope to add search utilities to make it more useful. Also, the map figure will soon be available via GDB.

 

Here are some ideas I have for how to enhance the genetic map pages. Please let me know if you have other suggestions for I can make the pages more useful.

• Listing of cytogenetic localizations for markers where this information is known and reliable. Add this same information to the graphical map figure.

   

• A search utility that allows you to enter one or more marker names and returns a listing of all pages that marker is listed on.

   

• A search utility that lets you enter a marker name and returns its map position (you can get this information now by first finding the marker in a marker-info page and clicking on its map position.)

   

• A search utility that lets you select a map interval by choosing two markers that are on the backbone map and returns the names of all off-backbone markers whose 1000:1 odds support interval includes the specified backbone interval.

   

• A utility that lets you enter a subset of ordered markers and returns the inter-marker distances for that set. The ordered markers may come from the backbone (where order is clear) or may be any set you choose. In the latter case you assume responsibility for entering a correct marker order.

   

• A utility that lets you enter a small set of markers in a putative map order and checks whether this order is the most likely order of the set of markers. This would be done using a FLIPS analysis which compares the likelihood of the given map order against several closely related map orders.
