MapLinker: A software tool that aids physical map-linked whole genome shotgun assembly

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. © The Author 2004. Published by Oxford University Press.
