Figure reporting BLAST matches between markers on homeologous Atlantic salmon chromosomes and stickleback chromosomes. Patterns exist where groups of mapped SNPs from different Salmon chromosomes match a particular chromosome or region in stickleback. Within each grid square the relative hit positions are indicated horizontally for stickleback and vertically for salmon chromosomes. For example, SNPs on Ssa13qa and 15qb (red squares) align to positions across the full length of stickleback chromosome 12, providing evidence that Ssa13qa and 15qb are homeologues.
