Additional file 5:

Mapping of unc(sy5506) mutation by single recombinant analysis (SRA). Twenty single F2 mutant animals were individually examined by PCR for the presence of indel bhP26. Four of these (#7, #10, #16, and #17) were found to be recombinants, as judged by the presence of two bands on the agarose gel (corresponding to AF16 and HK104 DNA).
