From Jorge Dubcovsky

Here are the recommendations for BIN names for cases where the information 
for one or more deletion lines is not available:

1) The chromosome name is a valid name when the only information available 
   is the chromosome location by NT analysis

Example 
Band clearly absent in N1B but that can not be clearly scored in telos or 
deletions: 

	BIN Name: 1B

2) The chromosome arm is a valid name when the only information available 
   is the chromosome location by NT analysis and DT

Example 
Band clearly absent in N5D and DT5DS but that can not be clearly scored in 
deletions: 

	BIN Name: 5DL

3) General rules to combine BIN names because of absence of information for 
   a deletion or incorrect deletion line within a lab

        3.A. Use the BIN name that can be scored
        3.B. Indicate the combination of BINs by combining the ranges of fraction lengths
        3.C. Add an * at the end of the name to indicate clearly that this is a combined BIN

Example 1
Band absent in N5D, DT5DL, 5DS5 and 5DS1, but DNA of distal 5DS2 degraded. 
Therefore, it is not possible to decide if the correct BIN is 5DS2 or the 
next interval 5DS5. The combined BIN name according to the previous rules 
is
	BIN name: 5DS5-0.67-1.00*

Example 2
5AL12 deletion incorrect (if 5AS probes show a band absent in this line, 
the stock is incorrect)

	Incorrect BIN names: C-5AL12-0.35 or 5AL12-0.35-0.57
	Correct BIN name: C-5AL10-0.57*

(Note: only KSU and UNL have the correct 5AL12)

Example 3
5BL1 and 5BL6 deletions incorrect (if 5BS probes show a band absent in 
this line, the stock is incorrect)

	Incorrect BIN names: C-5BL6-0.29 or 5BL6-0.29-0.55 or 5BL1-0.55-0.75   
	Correct BIN name: C-5BL14-0.75*

(Note: it looks like only KSU and UNL have the correct stocks)

In the figures of the deletion maps, combined BINs will be indicated to the 
right of a vertical line indicating the combined BINs. This information will 
be located to the right of the normal BINs.
