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.
