Consensus maps of the barley 5HS telomere. The rescaled consensus maps from DAGGER and MergeMap (distances in cM) are shown alongside a physical map of the hardness locus. The scale of the physical map relative to the consensus maps is arbitrary; the scale bar refers only to the physical map. The consensus map produced by DAGGER is generated by linearizing an unsimplified consensus graph that is equivalent to the linkage maps. By contrast, the consensus map produced by MergeMap is generated by linearizing a simplified consensus graph that is consistent with but not equivalent to the linkage maps. Based on the linkage maps in Table 2, the hardness locus should be less than 1 cM in length; this is true in the DAGGER map but not the consensus map from MergeMap.
