Genome of an organism is depicted by genetic linkage mapping and physical mapping.
Genome mapping stated with genetic linkage mapping and contributed enormously
in genome analysis and its improvement. Physical mapping emerged later and is
the prelude to structural and functional genomics.
This volume briefly introduces the historical background and overview on genome
mapping. Chapters deliberating on different types of molecular markers, their
detection, relative merits, shortcomings and applications; types of mapping
populations, methods of their generation, applications; basic concepts and schematic
depiction of construction of genetic linkage maps; concepts and strategies of
mapping genes controlling qualitative and quantitative traits on framework genetic
linkage maps; rationale, methodologies and implications of comparative mapping;
principles, strategies, and outcome of map-based cloning; overviews on the recent
advances on plant genomics and genome initiatives; and finally computer strategies
and software
employed in plant molecular mapping and breeding.
