Additional File 1:

Influence of the hybridization contrast between parental alleles on the precision of estimating allele-frequency equality. PDF file with a chart displaying the relationship between the apparent allele-frequency differences, measured by comparing two identical aliquots of a 1:1 mixture of Steptoe and Morex, and the hybridization contrasts between alternative alleles. All markers present in a Steptoe/Morex DArT map [20] were included in this figure. The SD of groups of markers in allelic-contrast bins of 0.5 units on the log2 [cy3/cy5] scale are included.

Additional File 2:

Comparison between two bulking strategies. PDF file with a chart displaying, for each of 490 markers, the difference of the Dayton allele frequency between Al-tolerant and Al-sensitive bulks of 20 Dayton/Zhepi2 DH plants (Δ %), measured using two alternative methods: (1) by pooling representations prepared from individual DNA samples (horizontal axis), and (2) by preparing two representations from genomic-DNA pools. The dotted line denotes equality between the two alternative methods.
