A multi-population consensus genetic map reveals inconsistent marker order among maps likely attributed to structural variations in the apple genome.

Genetic maps serve as frameworks for determining the genetic architecture of quantitative traits, assessing structure of a genome, as well as aid in pursuing association mapping and comparative genetic studies. In this study, a dense genetic map was constructed using a high-throughput 1,536 EST-deri...
