WELCOME TO LDB

Ldb is an analytical database for constructing fully integrated genetic and physical maps. The ldb program generates an integrated map (known as the summary map) from partial maps of physical, genetic, regional, mouse homology and cytogenetic data.

or go to Map+/ldb+ MANUAL

The summary maps and the data used to build up such maps are available from this site. The files for each chromosome are stored in the same directory which include the summary map, partial maps, lod files and the parameter files.
