Abstract

We aim to construct ordered physical maps of the Brassica A and C genomes (from B. oleracea and B. rapa). The maps will consist of Binary BAC contigs anchored to the Brassica genetic maps and the Arabidopsis genome sequence. The latter will be via ca. 1300 anchor genes selected as having defined functions of likely scientific or commercial importance. Many will have been selected by members of the UK Brassica Research Community in connection with specific projects. The maps will provide a conduit for the interchange of functional genomics information between Brassica and Arabidopsis. Our role is the Coordination Laboratory. We will identify, verify and distribute gene-specific probes, BAC clones and high density colony filters. We will provide training and will participate in fingerprinting and hybridisation experiments. (Joint with grants 207/IGF12446, 6/IGF12447, 208/IGF12448, and 86/IGF12450.)
