—Genetic position of markers as a function of the physical position on the ostrich Z chromosome. (A) Sex-averaged genetic positions before correction of the physical assembly. Top rectangles represent superscaffolds numbered, ordered and oriented according to (Zhang et al. 2015). Red symbols represent markers from incorrectly assembled scaffolds. (B) Male and (C) female genetic positions with superscaffolds corrected for chimaerism, order, and orientation. Scaffold borders are indicated by dashed lines in all panels.
