Integrating Genetics and Genomics to Advance Soybean Research






Proposed chromosome numbers to linkage group assignments.  Linkage group lengths in cM are based on the Soybean Consensus Map 3.0 produced by Perry Cregan's group at the USDA-ARS Soybean Genomics and Improvement Lab. The 11 initial linkage group to chromosome number assignments were made by Ted Hymowitz's group [Zou et al. (2003) Assignment of molecular linkage groups to soybean chromosomes by primary trisomics. Theor. Appl. Genet. 107:745-750 and citations therein]. The remaining 9 were given chromosome numbers in decreasing order of linkage group genetic length.
