Table 4.

Cases of conflict (ltc ≥ 2fpc) for which marker data allowed further confirmation of contig structure

Chromosome arm	6AS	6AL
No. of conflicts	72	143
No. of conflicts for which informative markers were availablea	22	26
Engaged fpc contig(s) is chimeric	17	20
Engaged ltc contig is chimeric	4	4
The ltc contig corresponds to the ends of the respective fpc contigsb	1	2

fpc, fingerprinted contigs; ltc, linear topological contigs.

^aGenetic markers from the same map were anchored to different parts of the same contig.

^bNeither the ltc contig nor the respective fpc contigs could be flagged as chimerical on the basis of anchored genetic markers.
