A consensus genetic map of sorghum that integrates multiple component maps and high-throughput Diversity Array Technology (DArT) markers

Table 2 Statistics of the six component maps

	TAMU-ARS	S2	S4	S5	S6	CIRAD
Number of markers	792	488	410	189	117	807
Mean marker density/cM	0.51	0.34	0.29	0.17	0.13	0.66
Map length (cM)	1528	1433	1435	1138	910	1227

The table includes the pedigree of each population, the dissimilarity index (based on the Sokal & Michener coefficient) between the parental genotypes of each component mapping population, as calculated using the DARwin software [59], the generation and population size, and details of the number and type of markers.
