Optical Mapping of Rice DNA |
||
Michael Bechner | |||
| Michael Bechner presents on the topic of using optical DNA mapping in the Rice Genome Project. The Rice Genome Project is a multi-national effort to learn enough about the genetics of rice to be able to futher improve the world's most important food crop. | |||
| Optical mapping is a method of microcopically imaging DNA fragments to assist in mapping genes. Innovated largely by UW-Madison's David Schwartz, optical mapping can help sequencers more accurately orient gene sequences in the larger genome. | |||
