a
Current mapping panel comprises 1024 birds (value used in simulations).
b
M denotes microsatellites and A denotes AFLPs.
c
53 SNPs typed across 23 genes. Intragenic SNPs scored as single locus haplotypes for linkage mapping such that 23 loci were mapped.
d
A small number of typed markers were allozymes (four in Soay sheep and three in red deer).
