Rutgers map

Rutgers map

The rutgersMap database was created from Rutgers Combined Linkage-Phsycal Map (T. C. Matise et al, 2007). The current version contains interpolated genetic positions for variants from dbSNP build 134. It is also possible to provide a list of variants with physical positions to the Rutgers Map Interpolator and create your own annotation database using the rutgersMap format with --file option for vtools use command.

Description of the data from Rutgers Computational Genetics Lab:

We have constructed de novo a high-resolution genetic map that includes the largest set of polymorphic markers for which genotype data are publicly available: it combines genotype data from both the CEPH and deCODE pedigrees (for some markers), incorporates SNPs, also incorporates sequence-based positional information. The position of most markers on our map is corroborated by both genomic sequence and recombination-based data. This specific combination of features maximizes marker inclusion, coverage, and resolution, making this map uniquely suited as a comprehensive resource for determining genetic map information (order and distances) for any large set of polymorphic markers.
