A complete BAC-based physical map of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome

Arabidopsis thaliana is a small flowering plant that serves as the major model system in plant molecular genetics. The efforts of many scientists have produced genetic maps that provide extensive coverage of the genome (http://genome-www. stanford.edu/Arabidopsis/maps.html). Recently, detailed YAC, BAC, P1 and cosmid-based physical maps (that is, representations of genomic regions as sets of overlapping clones of corresponding libraries) have...
