A BAC-based integrated linkage map of the silkworm Bombyx mori

Table 1 Characteristics of BAC libraries used in this study

BAC library	Vector	Cloning site	Number of clones	Mean insert size (kb)	Clone coverage^a
EcoRI-BAC	pBACe3.6	EcoRI	36,864	168	13×
BamHI-BAC	pBeloBAC11	BamHI	21,120	165	7.3×
HindIII-BAC	pBAC-lac	HindIII	23,040	125	6.1×

All libraries were constructed with strain p50T using mixed sexes. ^aTo estimate the genome coverage of each library, we used a genome size of 476 megabases. BAC, bacterial artificial chromosome.
