Markers 173, 2263, 474, and 250 indicate canine microsatellite loci C09.173, C09.2263, C09.474, and C09.250, respectively. Data are shown in boldface where lod score exceeds 3.0. The order shown is that supported by two-point linkage analyses of data in the present study. θ, Maximum likelihood estimate of recombination fraction between loci; Z, lod score; n, number of informative meioses typed for two-point linkage analysis; and NI, no pedigrees informative.
