HXB/BXH Genotype

    Summary:

The HXB/BXH Genotype Database was assembled by Robert W. Williams and Michal Pravenec using a compendium of approximately 1100 markers that have been typed over the past decade (please see Pravenec et al. 1999 and Jirout et al.2003 for additional details of marker selection and genotyping). The final accepted genotype database contains 556 markers covering all 20 autosomes and the X chromosome. This file was updated November 2007 by RWW to correct some serious errors of maker order and to update the physical positions to the November 2004 assembly of the rat genome (still the most recent available to us).

We hope to obtain much improved SNP-based rat chromosome maps in the next year (2008) from Dr. Hubner, Pravenec, and colleagues.
