Wheat Map Alignment [1MB]. An alignment of the maps of 9 crosses is now available. The Read Me [150KB] document explains the content and rationale: this (Version 1.2) is a work in progress. For more information contact peter  DiversityArrays.com (February 2007).

A whole-genome integrated map for a cross between wheat cultivars Cranbrook and Halberd using 339 RFLP, SSR and AFLP markers, 71 STM markers and 339 DArT markers is described in the 2006 paper, "Diversity arrays technology (DArT) for high-throughput profiling of the hexaploid wheat genome" by Akbari et al. in Theoretical and Applied Genetics, DOI 10.1007/s00122-006-0365-4. Subsequent mapping of a number of crosses will be reported soon.
