Genetic maps of the Chrs 18 and 15 QTL regions introgressed in the congenic strains.

<p>Schematic representation of the 4 congenic strains (<b>A</b>: FVB.B6-<i>Sicd1/Sicd2</i>, <b>B</b>: FVB.B6-<i>Sicd1/Sicd2</i>-ISCL1, <b>C</b>: FVB.B6-<i>Sicd1/Sicd2</i>-ISCL2, and <b>D</b>: FVB.B6-<i>Sicd1/Sicd2</i>-ISCL3) in which segments from the B6 parent strain were introgressed in the FVB genetic background. Strains were produced as described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0110515#s2" target="_blank">Materials and Methods</a>. The names of DNA microsatellite markers typed for these studies and used for selecting interval-specific recombinants are indicated on the left for each given chromosome. Their relative positions (in Mbp from the acromere) on the physical map (<a href="http://genome.ucsc.edu" target="_blank">http://genome.ucsc.edu</a>) are given. Black regions reflect contributions from the B6 parental strain, while white regions reflect contributions from the FVB parental strain.
