Method | Genetically, the entire genome of maize contains at least 2061 cM [E. H. Coe, Jr., personal communication in (1983) Maize Newsletter 67, 133-166] (but may be as large as 3000 cM), which encompasses 3x10^6 kb of DNA (Galbraith et al., 1983 PMID 17754551). Therefore, over the entire genome, the value of ? is 1460 kb/cM. |
Comments | For genome size of 2.4Mb see BNID 105520. Calculating similarly would give 1160kb per cM. |
