To accelerate mapping projects in conifers, we plan to use high-throughput genotyping technologies.
Establishment of integrated physical and genetic maps for switchgrass will accelerate mapping of value added traits useful to breeding programs and to isolate important target genes using map based cloning.
High-resolution genetic maps provide breeders the ability to analyze the inheritance of genes of interest, monitor the transmission of specific genes or genomic regions from parents to progeny, and accelerate map-based cloning [ 7, 8].
The availability of a comparative map between quail and chicken will accelerate mapping studies in quail not only by facilitating the transfer of genetic information in the form of markers but also gene predictions directly from chicken to quail.
The use of rice as a reference species to accelerate map-based cloning projects by extrapolating marker position data and increasing marker density in targeted regions has a proven efficiency among cereal crops (e.g. barley, wheat, Sorghum), with a perceivable trend towards decreased efficiency when phylogenetic distance increases.
Because the tribe Triticeae includes important cereals such as wheat and barley, integration of information on the genetic markers in these crops should effectively accelerate map-based genetic studies on Triticeae species and lead to the discovery of key loci involved in plant productivity, which can contribute to sustainable food production.
State geologist John Parrish last year accelerated the mapping of the Hollywood fault and released in January a draft map that showed the approximate location of the fault going underneath several major developments in Hollywood, including the Millennium project.
The recent identification of a large set of single-copy conserved orthologous (COSII) markers has greatly accelerated comparative mapping studies among major solanaceous species including tomato, potato, eggplant, pepper and diploid Nicotiana species (as well as tetraploid tobacco).
The dense consensus linkage map developed in this study will accelerate LD mapping in red clover, as well as QTL detection by interval mapping.
(ii) By converting the BAC landing data into a physical linkage map, already existing sources of mapped STS markers may be used to accelerate BAP mapping.
Similarly, we observe a general tendency for CLIP-domain serine proteases and serpin family serine protease inhibitors (marked "CLIP" and "SRPN" in Figure 5 respectively) to be clustered together in many areas of the map, which suggests that the experimental elucidation of enzyme-inhibitor relationships can be greatly accelerated using the map.
