Maps

Section Description: Information about the maps provided by this study

Field NameDescriptionConditions
Map IDAn identifier of the map. Can be a combination of the cross name and chromosome map.
Example: C1:Ch1
Mandatory
Unique
Map NameThe name of the map, which like the Map ID, can be a combination of the cross name and chromosome map, except it should be in a easily understandable form.Optional
ChromosomeThe name of the chromosome to which this map relates
Example: C1Ch1
Optional
MarkerThe name of the marker used. If the marker data is provide it must relate to Marker name in the marker sheet or file.Mandatory
PositionThe position in cM of the marker of the mapOptional

Markers

Section Description: Information about markers used in the experiment

Markers (optional)

The spreadsheet consists of ten columns, which each row representing a SSR marker.

Field NameDescriptionConditions
MarkerA unique name of the marker usedMandatory
Unique
MotifThe motif, if the marker is an SSR. Please provide the di- nucleotide, tri-nucleotide or complex motif noting the repeating unit and number of copies in the motif. For example (CT)15, (GTC)7 or (AT)4A(AT)7. Providing the motif of the SSR will allow researchers to determine expected allele sizes more actually and to provide some level of quality control. Furthermore, different types of SSR may not evolve at the same rate and the motif is required to separate them in the analyses.Optional
Forward PrimerThe sequence of forward primer used in the PCR to detect the alleleOptional
Reverse PrimerThe sequence of reverse primer used in the PCR to detect the alleleOptional
Annealing TmThe annealing temperature of the PCR used to detect the alleleOptional
Min AlleleThe size in bp of smallest allele product expected in the PCROptional
Max AlleleThe size in bp of largest allele product expected in the PCROptional
GenBank Accession NumberA NCBI GenBank accession number for the marker reference sequenceOptional
ReferencesA semi-colon separated list references to the marker published in an article or database.Optional

Map Data
