Soybean chromosome and historical linkage group correspondences. Linkage group lengths in cM are based on the Soybean Consensus Map 3.0 (Choi et al., 2017) produced by Perry Cregan's group at the USDA-ARS Soybean Genomics and Improvement Lab. The 11 initial linkage group to chromosome number assignments were made by Ted Hymowitz's group (Zou et al., 2003). The remaining 9 were given chromosome numbers in decreasing order of linkage group genetic length.
