A physical map for the poplar tree genome

A physical map of the highly heterozygous Populus genome: integration with the genome sequence and genetic map and analysis of haplotype variation.
As part of an international effort to sequence the /Populus/ (poplar) genome, the mapping team at the Genome Sciences Centre constructed a physical map for the /Populus/ genome. The physical map consists of over 45,000 large-insert bacterial artificial clones (BAC) and is estimated to cover over 95% of the genome. The physical map is also anchored to both the sequence assembly through BAC end sequence alignments and the genetic map via mutually-shared markers, which make it an extremely useful genomic resource for the study of the biology of the poplar tree.
