Figure 1. Distribution of genes and recombination along the chromosomes. The cumulative gene count (small black squares) and centimorgan counts (empty diamonds) were plotted against the physical length, expressed as number of fingerprinted bands for each chromosome. On average, 1000 fingerprinted contig (FPC) bands corresponds to 4.9 megabases. Large black squares on the physical distance axi correspond to the location of the centromeres identified on the physical map. For chromosomes 6 and 8, the centromere cores could not be placed in the integrated physicalgenetic map, and their genetic positions are based on the IBM2 map and indicated by large black square on this axis.
