Abstract:A physical map of a region or the entirety of the genome of an organism is a representation of the genome providing information on the relative order and the arrangement of physically defined entities. For most physical maps, these entities are cloned genomic DNA fragments propagated in cosmids, bacteriophage P1, bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), P1‐derived artificial chromosomes (PACs), or yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs). The various cloning systems differ in the sizes of the cloned DNA fragments a… Show more
