Using MapMan

mapping file for chromosome based visualization

Would you please anyone send me an example how to prepare the mapping file for chromosome based visualization?
MapMan has autogenerated chromosomal views for Arabidopsis; I cannot open that file using available applications like excel or notepad. I hope it should be some way to generate mapping file in text format for chromosomal view of other species.

Hi,

to create your own mapping file for the chromosome based visualization you can use the following xml file format. This is the file format used for the mapping files we supply.
Copy to file name somemapping.xml and load from mapman

It can be used with or without the Species,Identifier and Link section.
