Assembly and Sorting of Homologous BAC Contigs in Allotetraploid Cotton Genomes

John Z. Yu, Zhanyou Xu, and Russell J. Kohel. USDA-ARS, Southern Plains Agricultural Research Center, Crop Germplasm Research Unit, 2881 F&B Road, College Station, TX 77845

One challenge to integrated genetic and physical mapping of allopolyploid genomes is the separation of homologous BAC contigs to their sub-genomes and to individual chromosomes. This presentation will discuss one of our experiments to assemble and sort homologous BAC contigs in Upland cotton that has an allotetraploid genome.
