Add clones from other maps
Anchor contigs to chromosomes
    *BSS Marker→BES Batch or interactive Electronic markers
Marker→Sequence Merge FPC contigs
    BSS GRC→BES Batch Place GRCs on the map to eludicate gene rich regions.
GRC→Sequence Merge FPC contigs
Selecting MTPc
    *BSS Sequence→BES Interactive Manual selection
    *BSS + pickMTP WGS→BES Batch Automatic selection
Finishingc
BSS Draft→Sequence Interactive Locate draft (WGS or BAC-based) sequence that overlaps clone in order to use the reads and close sequencing gaps
BSS
WGS→BES
Interactive or batch
Merge FPC contigs
  • (FSD) FPC Simulated Digest, (BSS) Blast Some Sequence, (BES) BAC End Sequence, (GRC) Gene Rich Contig, (WGS) Whole Genome Shotgun.

  • a The GRC, WGS, and Draft would all be treated as markers in BSS, i.e., use the BSS Marker→Sequence and Marker→BES. Sequence refers to BAC-based sequence.

  • b Interactive mode allows the user to add one marker at a time after confirming the marker by the BSS report and sequence alignment. Batch mode adds all markers at once, based on a user specified filter.

  • c A marker added for a BES or for draft sequence may not be of interest for the release version of the database, in which case, a copy of the FPC database can be made for the intermediate results.

  • * Features discussed in Results and Methods.
