Whole Genome Profiling provides a robust framework for physical mapping and sequencing in the highly complex and repetitive wheat genome

Table 2 Features of the WGP tag distribution along 18 Mbp of sequence corresponding to 12 reference contigs of chromosome 3B.

Total number of unique tags	3,396
Maximum distance^a between two unique tags (bp)	84,687
Minimum distance^a between two unique tags (bp)	0
Average distance^a between two unique tags (bp)	5,251
Standard deviation^a distance between two unique tags (bp)	7,541
Median distance^a between two unique tags (bp)	2,329
Percentage of Eco RI sites without tags	35.7%
Percentage of sites with two unique tags	38.9%

^a distances are calculated between the end of a tag and the beginning of the next one.
