Integrated physical map of Arabidopsis thaliana
During 1990-2000, several genome-wide physical maps of Arabidopsis thalianagenome were developed using large-insert YACs or BACs. These maps were also used for working out the whole genome sequences, which were published in December, 2000. The whole genome sequence, however, still had gaps in the heterochromatic and centromeric regions. In order to fill up these gaps, a whole-genome integrated physical map in Arabidopsiswas prepared and published towards the end of the year 2001. For preparing this latest physical map, a new BIBAC library was prepared, which complemented the BAC libraries used earlier for mapping.
