Although genetic maps were provided and were used for IBD computations and linkage analyses, chromosome lengths for microsatellites, Affymetrix SNPs, and Illumina SNPs were different (187 cM, 178 cM, and 185 cM) and therefore markers were adjusted to their physical locations for the purpose of plotting and ease of comparison. All findings were then placed on a common map defined by the physical map obtained from the NCBI database (Build 34.3).
