Errata

Below are miscellaneous minor problems that have been identified with the current genetic map data release. When we next update the genetic map, we will incorporate these changes.

The following changes have been kindly submitted by Dr. A. John Clutterbuck (Institute of Biomedical and Life Sciences, University of Glasgow). See his Aspergillus nidulans Linkage Map for details.

  1. Re-orient Supercontig 9, on LG IV: uvsH and bimD map distally while uvsB is centromere-proximal

  2. Supercontig 15 should be on LG VI not LG IV: Supercontig 15 is shown as relating to linkage group IV on the basis of the pacA marker. However the clone labelled "pacA" has been found to encode a suppressor of pacA, and has been renamed "suApacA". SuApacA maps on VI, as does cnxG, located in contig 169. Telomeric repeats located at the end of contig 170 determine that supercontig 15 is the short left arm of linkage group VI, with contig 170 distal to contig 169.

  3. Supercontig 14 should be on LG VII: The alcA gene is genetically mapped to the short left arm of linkage group VII, and therefore locating supercontig 14 to that position (orientation unknown).

  4. Supercontig 16 should be on LG VIII: supercontig 16 probably relates to the right arm of linkage group VIII, on the basis of a tentative identification of AN9403.1 as "pdhA" (encoding a pyruvate dehydrogenase subunit).

  5. No discrepancy for supercontig 6: We report in Genetic Map Discrepancies that supercontig 6 is associated with 2 linkage groups. This is because acrA on supercontig 6 is associated with LG II, whereas the other 21 markers on supercontig 6 are associated with LG I. Marker acrA is in fact associated with two different clones named "acrA", but neither of them is one mapped to linkage group II.

  6. Telomeric simple repeats are found at:
    • the start of contig 1.134: LG II left end.
    • as stated in item 2, 1.170 (supercontig 15) is clearly the LEFT arm of VI because cnxG (meiotically at the left end of VI) locates to 1.169.
    • the start of contig 1.1: right end of LG VIII.
    • on unattached contigs 1.200 and 1.216
