Rainbow Trout Physical and Genetic Maps Integrated

A first generation integrated map of the rainbow trout genome is available at http://www.genome.clemson.edu/activities/projects/rainbowTrout and Published in BMC genomics.

 The Collaborative study led by Dr. Yniv Palti, a research geneticist at the USDA ARS in Kearneysville , extend their earlier work of BAC-based physical map and genetic Maps of  INRA  and NCCCWA for  the most-widely cultivated cold freshwater fish.

Using the microsatellites isolated from BAC end sequences and PCR super pools for library screening and identification of BACs that harbor previously mapped markers the integrated map is composed of 238 BAC contigs anchored to chromosomes of the genetic map. It covers more than 10% of the genome across segments from all 29 chromosomes.

This Map will surely add to the growing rainbow trout genomics resources which include various genetic maps, physical maps, EST database and a transcriptome.
