Progress report

Microsatellite markers were initially used to verify the parentage of the AIMS reference families. These and additional microsatellite markers are also being mapped across the complete family.

Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs) form the backbone of the map. Although generally not transferable between pedigrees, they provide a high density of markers which enables linkage to be obtained to the small number of transferable Type 1 markers.

Other Type 1 transferable markers being added to the map include Single Stranded Conformation Polymorphisms (SSCPs), Exon-Primed Intron-Crossing (EPIC) markers and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs).
