Abstract
Motivation:
Quick and easy gene mapping by the use of a panel of cytogenetically characterized somatic cell hybrids is possible, even if some discordant experimental results arise.
Results:
An interactive program is proposed and is made available on a WWW site to users of a somatic cell hybrid panel. Assignments to chromosomes and subchromosomal regions are based on likelihood calculations and Bayes' theorem, and a confidence level is provided. The method is illustrated in the case of the pig genome.
