In the case of the AXB-BXA strains we pooled our genotypes with those generated by Sampson et al. [17]. Our new BXD data were pooled with genotypes of Taylor et al. [18], and CXB genotypes were pooled with the genotypes of Panoutsakopoulou and colleagues [55]. All data were eventually transferred to Map Manager QT and QTX. Both individual RI databases and the composite BXN database are available as text files formatted for use with Map Manager QTX files at [30]. The text files are compatible with Windows and Macintosh versions of Map Manager QTX and can be imported into a text editor or spreadsheet program.
