Several markers previously mapped using the bin mapping strategy [15] were included in the integrated map. The expected interval for position of the markers in centiMorgans (cM) in the integrated map based on the markers defining the bins according to Fernandez-Silva et al. (2008) [15] is shown in the "Bin position" column, while the actual position in the integrated map is given in the "Integrated map position" column.
