Polytene Chromosomal Maps of 11 Drosophila species: The order of genomic scaffolds inferred from genetic and physical maps.

@article{citeulike:3024280, abstract = {The sequencing of the twelve genomes of members of the genus Drosophila was taken as an opportunity to re-evaluate the genetic and physical maps for 11 of the species, in part to aid in the mapping of assembled scaffolds.

The cytogenetic maps were used to anchor the genome assembly scaffolds to the polytene chromosome map with physical and genetic markers for each species. In addition, a computational approach was used to anchor smaller scaffolds based on the analysis of syntenic blocks. We present the chromosomal map data from each of the 11 sequenced non-D. melanogaster species as a series of chapters.
