^aNumber of microsatellite markers mapped in the (GK × BN) F2 cross and average spacing between resolved genetic positions. Average physical distances were calculated with the chromosome length determined in the June 2003 rat genome assembly

^bMarkers localized in the genetic map (GK × BN) F2 cross that could be mapped by ePCR and average physical distances calculated as described above
