All,
I have received the below note from Martien (please reply to the newsgroup or
him directly) about setting up comparative mapping in acedb. I have not used
this facility, to save me wading through code etc., can anyone help Martien to
get this going ?
thanks Ed

> Map_set Human
> HSA1
> HSA2

> Homology_group
> Pairwise locus1chick locus1hsa
> Pairwise locus2chick locus2hsa

> Locus Locus1
> Map GGA1 position 25
> Map HSA1 position 78
