Abstract:

Summary: MapLinker is an analysis tool, as well as a browsing interface, that facilitates integration of whole genome sequence assembly with a clone-based physical map. Using the locations of sequence markers on the physical map, MapLinker generates a tentative sequence map of the genome that serves to verify the map and to guide genome-wide finishing.
