“Intermated B73 Mo17 genetic map
There are 288 lines in the IBM population. To make the map, MMP project
researchers mapped thousands of markers. They use primers that amplify a
different length fragment in Mo17 vs B73.

Walking to a Gene for non-geneticists
Why would you do it? If you have a cool mutant that you
know is heritable and non-allelic to other (cloned) mutants,
you would want to know the sequence of the gene in order to
understand more about the normal function of the gene.

An Overview of How To Walk to a Gene
1. Make a Mapping Population (500-1000 progeny).
2. Map your mutant to a bin.
-Bulk segregant analysis or standard mapping
3. Use MaizeGDB to find markers in that bin that are likely to
work with the inbreds in your mapping population.
4. Use the markers to do fine structure mapping (using the
same mapping populations) then relate your genetic
position to the BAC map (currently requires other
databases).
5. Once you are down to a reasonable number of genes on
one-three BACs, use RT-PCR or sequence to find
differences in wt vs. mutant.
