Figure 2. Conserved regions of synteny between the common carp linkage groups and zebrafish chromosome 1.

Conserved syntenic regions were established by genetic linkage mapping of BAC contig-associated microsatellites and SNP markers. Bars on the left side are LG3 and LG16 from common carp and distances between markers are shown in cM. Contig-associated marker names (e.g., CAFS3688) and contig names (e.g., ctg667) are connected by a short thick line, demonstrating the anchor points of the integrated map. The assembled short lines represent the physical map contigs, and each contig and the contig name are marked by different colors. The small black diamond icons on each contig represent the BESs, which are connected to their homologous points on zebrafish chromosome 1 using solid lines.
