The Physical and Genetic Framework of the Maize B73 Genome
Figure 2
Use of the maize optical map for FPC contig anchoring.
In each panel, the top blue fragments represent a maize optical SwaI restriction map, and the bottom orange fragments represent the in silico optical SwaI restriction map from contig-based pseudomolecules. Red fragments in (B) and (C) indicate a mis-sassmbly in the pseudomolecule that required manual editing. (A) Well-anchored Ctg36 helped to orient Ctg33, which was previously only ordered, but not oriented. (B) Anchored Ctg407 aided order and orientation of Ctg470, which was neither ordered nor oriented. (C). The newly anchored Ctg470 facilitated ordering and orienting of Ctg459.
