Step 2: MAP CROSS DNA PANEL

  • Minimum of 500 F2’s (1000 meioses) will be tested.
  • Theoretical limit of resolution = 0.1 cM.
  • P1’s will be initially screened for marker polymorphisms.
  • DNA will be isolated from postmetamorphic juveniles.
  • ~500 micrograms of DNA can be isolated from each individual.
  • 2-3 F1 sibling pairs will be used to produce F2 generation.
