MapLinker: a software tool that aids physical map-linked whole genome shotgun assembly

Bioinformatics. 2005 Apr 1;21(7):1265-6. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bti122. Epub 2004 Nov 30.

Abstract

MapLinker is an analysis tool, as well as a browsing interface, that facilitates integration of whole genome sequence assembly with a clone-based physical map. Using the locations of sequence markers on the physical map, MapLinker generates a tentative sequence map of the genome that serves to verify the map and to guide genome-wide finishing.
