A total of 5918 marker were mapped to linkage groups by two point linkage analyses. Among these, 5650 markers were integrated into the linkage map. The remaining 268 markers were not integrated due to insufficient statistical support or because they substantially expanded the multipoint linkage map. The columns in table are ID of the marker, classification of markers, Atlantic salmon chromosomes number, order of markers within each linkage group, female linkage map in cM, male linkage map in cM, number of meioses, sequence flanking the marker, length of the flanking sequence and dbSNP accession number.

Graphical visualization of linkage maps. The sections of the large acrocentric chromosomes proximal and distal to the central block of repetitive DNA are labeled qa and qb, respectively. The largest acrocentric chromosome pair has two blocks of repetitive DNA dividing the arm into three parts: 9qa, 9qb and 9qc.
