Web interface for representing unified markers. A web page showing the table that presents the distribution status of identical markers derived from 4 individual marker resources of barley and diploid wheat. A user can access the unified marker list by clicking each link in the distribution pattern and performing a search by entering a chromosome name along with the linkage map name (a). The unified markers are listed as contigs along with their members and are hyperlinked to CMap, where the linkage maps from different resources can be compared. As an example, Contig93 which is common between 2 barley maps and a diploid wheat map is hyperlinked to CMap, Gbrowse, assembled marker information, and CAP3 assembly (b). Contig assembly of identical markers is used for virtual markers to compare linkage maps among map resources. A comparison of the linkage maps of homoeologous group 5 among 3 different barley maps and a diploid wheat map performed using assembled marker groups shared among them is depicted (c).
