Abstract

This RO has two principal objectives. The first is to create a physical map of the Brassica A genome by fingerprinting a newly constructed B. rapa BAC library. BAC clones will be fingerprinted by appropriate restriction digests on agarose gel systems, with image capture and analysis by Image and then automated contig assembly by FPC. Mini-contigs will be integrated with the Arabidopsis genome sequence by colony hybridisation with selected gene anchor probes. The second objective is to coordinate and sequence-verify the distribution of the anchor probe set to the entire Brassica IGF consortium. Both research tasks will be closely coordinated with the bioinformatics that underpins the project. The combined data from this and the companion C genome project will be made available to the Brassica and Arabidopsis user communities in real time and also nominations for the anchor probes and requests for BAC clones will be solicited.
