  This is a file to document how to format map data to submit to UniSTS.

The file name should be [mapname]_map_data where [mapname] is name of your map.
If the map name contains space, replace the space with _ (underscore) in the filename[mapname]_marker_desc. For example, if your map name is "My Map", the file name should be My_Map_map_data.

Please provide the following data as tab-delimited fields and save it as a text file.

1. taxid: Taxonomic id for the organism as it can be found in the NCBI's taxonomy database.

2. chromosome: chromosome on which the object is placed.
If it is linkage group 1 instead of chromosome 1, write it LG1. If chromosome 1, write 1. If it is LG1 on chromosome1, write it as 1|LG1.

3. position_1: Beginning position on the map where the object is placed.

4. position_2: Ending position on the map where the object is placed.
If the data is not in a range, leave this empty.

5. marker name: This marker name should also have a line in the [mapname]_marker_data. Each marker name should have only one line.

6. feature type: designates the feature type. values(may not be complete) STS, GENE, RFLP, AFLP..

7. weight: Confidence value of the placement. This may be left empty if it is not know. Values are:
   framework
   placement
   ambiguous

8. additional columns: If you wish to provide additional values in your mapping data.
For example, Genetic and RH maps may have a LOD score and/or bin data, and Genetic maps may have sex-average, and male and female genetic location. When additional columns are needed to capture data, please provide what additional columns are at the head of the file in a line starting with #. For example, it you want to provide sex-averaged pos in column 3, and male and female positon as additional columns, you can write at the head of the file as #column 3 sex-averated genetic location #column 8 male genetic position #column 9 female genetic position
