HGMP-RC Fugu Project
The MRC has granted an award to Sydney Brenner and Greg Elgar through the HGMP-RC to generate a landmark map of the Fugu genome.

The Fugu fish has essentially the same number of genes as the human genome, although its genome size is only approx. 400 Mb. Data obtained to date is consistent with an overall 8x compression of the Fugu genome compared to the human. Isolation of Fugu homologies to human genomic regions thus facilitate gene finding.

Cosmids from the Fugu library will be sequenced using a scanning approach. The data arising from other groups using the library, and returning the data to the Resource Centre, will be integrated into the database.

The Zebra Fish Server
This gives information on the genetics, breeding and care of zebra fish.

Zebra Fish Information
This gives links to useful things about Zebra fish genetics and care and breeding of Zebra fish.

Tilapia Genome Project
A first-generation genetic map for tilapia, a group of fishes important to aquaculture around the world. Microsatellite markers consisting of a variable number of dinucleotide repeats have been isolated from an enriched genomic DNA library. These markers will be useful for characterizing the genomic composition and level of inbreeding of commercial tilapia strains, many of which have been derived by hybridization of several related species of Oreochromis. The genetic map will facilitate the improvement of strains with respect to traits of commercial importance, such as growth rate and flesh quality, through marker-assisted selection.

MEDAKAFISH
In recent years, the medaka (Oryzias latipes) has come to be widely used as a laboratory animal in various fields in biology, especially in developmental biology and genetics. Its relatively short life cycle, capacity to reproduce, and ease of breeding are chiefly responsible for its popularity in these fields.

Rivulus marmoratus
The killifish Rivulus marmoratus is the only vertebrate known to reproduce by virtually obligate self-fertilization and whose natural populations are generally comprised of homozygous clones. A webpage discussing the biology of this organism in some detail, including a review article, bibliography, faqs, and some illustrations, is now available.

SheepMap
The purpose of SheepBase is to provide an up-to-date compilation of published data from sheep genome mapping projects. Information is presented using the WWW interface, where both physical and linkage maps of the sheep genome are available, together with information on individual loci and associated references.

BOVMAP - INRA
The goal of the BOVMAP database is to offer to the scientific community working on the bovine genome a useful and practical tool to follow the rapid mapping progress. As such, BOVMAP contains information on loci, alleles, genetic and physical maps, polymorphisms, homologies (comparative mapping), probes, primers and bibliographic references. At the moment near 900 loci, 500 polymorphism and 360 bibliographic references are registered.

Cattle Genome Map
This gives the cattle genome marker tables and a chromosome map.

The Dog Genome Project
The dog genome project is a collaborative study involving scientists at the University of California, the University of Oregon, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center aimed at producing a map of all of the chromosomes in dogs, which can be used to map the genes causing disease and those genes controlling morphology and behavior. Different dog breeds are distinguished by varieties of morphologies and behaviors that exceed the range of variation in any other species on earth.

The FHCRC Dog Genome Project
The Dog Genome Project at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is working to develop resources necessary to map and clone canine genes.

• References to publications in the field of Canine research.

DogMap
DogMap is an international collaboration between 34 labs from 17 different countries towards a low resolution canine marker map under the auspices of the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG).

The map under development should achieve a resolution of about 20 cM and some of the markers should be mapped physically. The participants have agreed to use microsatellites as markers on a common panel of reference families which will provide the backbone of the marker map. It is forseen to also include type I markers in the mapping effort and to produce cosmid derived microsatellites for physical mapping. For this purpose part of the effort focuses on the standardization of the canine karyotype. Special attention is payed to hereditary diseases where efforts are under way to establish resource families either by collecting families or by specific breeding.
