Welcome to the website of the Brassica Genome Project, funded by the BBSRC's IGF programme.
We have now achieved our objectives which were to:
- create draft physical maps of the Brassica 'A' and 'C' genomes by fingerprinting BAC libraries
- to integrate these with the Arabidopsis genome sequence by hybridisation with selected gene anchor probes
- to be responsive to the Brassica and Arabidopsis user communities, publishing data in real time, soliciting nominations for the anchor probes and supplying BAC clones on request
| A genome | C genome | |
| Fingerprinted Clones | 33,159 | 35,419 |
| % clones in contigs | 69.1% | 58.5% |
| Average no. clones/marker | 11.7 | 10.1 |
| Average no. markers/contig | 4.6 | 4.8 |
| Coverage | 462 Mb | N/A* |
| Contigs | 2041 | 1365 |
| *=Alternative technology used for fingerprint precludes determination of coverage | ||
Through this website you can browse the database, view probes selected for hybridisation and request BAC clones.
