A table listing 510 BAC clones assigned to a unique LG chromosome location by cytogenetic mapping and the predicted LG chromosome location indicated by four zebrafish genome databases (as of August 2006). The 510 BAC clones were assigned to a chromosome, chromosome arm, and region within each chromosome arm as observed with cytogenetic mapping. The current genome assembly position (as of May 2007) for each BAC clone was then integrated with the cytogenetic mapping data to further order the BAC clones within each chromosomal region. It should be noted that LG chromosomes 3, 5, 7, 8, 17, 18, 21, 22, and 25 appear to be inverted.
