As part of the NSF Plant Genome project DBI-0321711 we are genetically mapping thousands of maize genes using a panel of IBM recombinant inbreds. To view current genetic maps, click Here. The probability that a given MAGI can be mapped via our approach is ~25%. Recently we have begun to solicit from the community requests to map specific MAGIs for which maize transcripts exist. If you would like us to attempt to map a specific MAGI please provide its ID# (version 3.1 only), the Genbank Accession number of a corresponding cDNA and the other information requested below.

Note that all mapping data are released to the public, consequently we can not map MAGIs aligned to confidential cDNA sequences. We reserve the right to limit the number of requests per institution or per person.

Because the NSF-funded mapping project has expired, this community mapping service is no longer available. Valid mapping requests were received for 85 genes. As of 02/23/07, 32 of these genes have been successfully mapped. The remainder either did not exhibit detectable polymorphisms (N=42) or are still being analyzed (N=11). Hence, a 43% (32/[85-11]) success rate of mapping genes was achieved, almost double the 25% rate we estimated. This higher success rate reflects the extra effort placed on mapping these community genes. To view the results click here.
