Linkage map details.Marker positions (cM Kosambi) are shown for the sex-average maps built for the Charolais × Holstein population considered in this study. The average information content (IC) for each linkage group is also indicated. For chromosome 5, the map including the SILV c.64A>G mutation is also presented (*).
