Dear colleagues,
It a pleasure to announce the release of the genetic linkage map for
Aropora millepora. It is based on the SNPs mined from our 454
transcriptome data and previously developed microsatellite markers.
The map was build by genotyping individual larvae originating from a
single cross between two colonies from Nelli Bay at Magnetic Island,
Australia. The vast majority of marker development and mapping work
has been done by my postdoctoral associate, Dr. Shi Wang. The map can
be used for genetic analysis of coral adaptation, genetics of gene
expression, and for A. millepora genome assembly.
Basic map info: length 1493 cM, 393 gene-based SNPs, 36
microsatellites, 14 linkage groups (haploid chromosome number for A.
millepora), average marker distance (map resolution) 3.4 centimorgans
(cM).
The corresponding manuscript is currently in latest stages of
preparation. As part of our policy on rapid data sharing in genomics
of non-model organisms, we are posting the data now, ahead of
publication, for all researchers to use. Download the data (markers,
assays, map locations, gene annotations) here: http://
