For large genome sequence assemblies so far, contiguous clone-based maps provide the framework for organizing the sequence 5,6. With the increasing emphasis on whole-genome shotgun assemblies, ...

Whole-genome sequencing, positional cloning and comparative genomics mainly depend on the construction of high-quality physical maps. Current physical maps have been developed using agarose gel-based ...

Physical maps show natural features such as mountains, lowlands, major rivers, seas, oceans and ecosystems close ecosystemA community of animals, plants and microorganisms, together with the habitat ...
