| Method |
"To extend the contiguity of the assembly to the chromosomal level, [researchers] have generated a comprehensive genetic map of fugu and anchored the scaffolds of the assembly to the 22 chromosomes of fugu. The map consists of 1,220 microsatellite markers that provide anchor points to 697 scaffolds covering 86% of the genome assembly (http://www.fugu-sg.org/)." |
| Comments |
"Although fugu was initially not intended to be a genetic model, a genetic map with 200 microsatellite markers that anchored 10% of the assembly to the 22 fugu chromosomes was generated (Kai et al. 2005)." |
