The lines are either a piece of D. mauritiana genome in an otherwise D. simulans genetic background (SM) or a piece of D. simulans genome in an otherwise D. mauritiana genetic background (MS) for three segments of the third chromosome (cytological region 62, 82, or 98). The line number is consistent with the designation previously used for the same lines [25].
2The base positions are in kilobases, numbered from the telomere for the left arm (3L) and from the centromere for the right arm (3R) of the third chromosome. The region that is listed spans from the markers that had the genotype of the genomic background, encompassing the markers that had the introgressed parent’s genotype; thus, the size of the actual region is likely smaller than the listed region.
3The cytological position is that of the homologous region in D. melanogaster.
