Project Description

The IWGSC RefSeq v1.0 is an integration of the IWGSC WGA v0.4 with IWGSC chromosome-based and other resources, including but not limited to:

• Physical maps for all chromosomes;
• Sequenced BACs for 8 chromosomes (1A, 1B, 3B, 3D, 6B, 7A, 7B, 7D) and partial MTP BAC sequences for 2 chromosome arms (4AL, 5BS);
• MTP BAC WGP^TM sequence tags for all chromosomes, except 3B;
• BioNano optical maps (7A, 7B, 7DS);
• Alignment to RH maps (D chromosomes); and
• GBS map of the SynOp RIL population CsxRn genetic map (INRA)
