  1. Information is for the 26 zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) microsatellite markers used to create the linkage maps for the zebra finch chromosomes 1, 1A, 2 and 9. See additional file 1: Table S1 for more information.
  2. He, Ho expected and observed heterozygosity (calculated using CERVUS v3.0)
  3. $, Markers with null alleles; null alleles were detectable by following their segregation through the pedigree. Null alleles were rescored as allele 99 before running through CriMap. Null allele frequencies are calculated using the original genotypes and are based on the excess of homozygous individuals.
  4. a, Excluded after CHROMPIC revealed an excess of double recombination events with adjacent markers, indicative of high error rate.
  5. b, Excluded from linkage maps as parent-offspring mismatches estimated the error rate > 0.02
  6. c, Could not be accurately scored after multiplexing.
