The discovery of an EST-SSR marker based on gene expression data and with complete linkage to the Li 2 locus presents a novel approach for data mining a genetic marker database.
More specifically, these simulations are based on gene dropping in all pedigrees under the null hypothesis of no linkage.
In addition, we visually inspected inter sample variabilities based on gene expression using heatmap plotting from the gplots R package55, adopting Euclidean distance measurement and complete linkage methods in hierarchical clustering.
Moreover, the high density genetic linkage map predominantly based on gene-associated DNA markers provides an important tool for the assignment of candidate genes to quantitative trait loci (QTL), functional genomics and the integration of genetic and physical maps in perennial ryegrass, one of the most important temperate grassland species.

DNA sequences of mitochondrial genes provide a single estimate of a species phylogeny based on one linkage group [ 15].
In the absence of the whole genome sequence, we attempted to establish microsyntenies based on physical linkage of gene sequences.
Conclusions and future works can be found in Section 4. We propose a new differential network-based scheme netSAM to evaluate the relative importance of genes based on the linkage characteristics of the entire network.
SSR markers were selected based on their linkage with genes considered to be potential candidates for the tgr mutants (Mop1, Mop2, Rmr1, and Rmr6), and that they were polymorphic in the parental lines for the mapping populations.
Two tests of gene flow, one based on linkage disequilibrium and a MCMC analysis based on coalescence, suggest that the two species might be exchanging alleles at the per locus.
