C. Chevalet et al., REGIONAL ASSIGNMENT OF GENETIC-MARKERS USING A SOMATIC-CELL HYBRID PANEL - A WWW INTERACTIVE PROGRAM AVAILABLE FOR THE PIG GENOME, Computer applications in the biosciences, 13(1), 1997, pp. 69-73
Motivation: Quick and easy gene mapping by the use of a panel of cytog
enetically characterized somatic cell hybrids is possible, even if som
e discordant experimental results arise. Results: An interactive progr
am is proposed and is made available on a WWW site to users of a somat
ic cell hybrid panel. Assignments to chromosomes and subchromosomal re
gions are based on likelihood calculations and Bayes' theorem, and a c
onfidence level is provided. The method is illustrated in the case of
the pig genome. Availability: The program can be accessed free of char
ge at URL http://www.toulouse.inra.fr/lgc/lgc.html. Contact: E-mail: c
