Anchoring Brachypodium contigs to wheat deletion bins. Brachypodium Contig138 is orthologous with a genomic region on rice chromosome 5 based on BLAST search. A total of 16 mapped wheat ESTs were matched by the BES in the contig. The ESTs were connected to the contig by a line from only one representative BAC end. Eight ESTs in black were mapped to deletion bins located at the distal regions of wheat group 1 chromosomes. The bin location for each EST was indicated by a black line. A schematic drawing of wheat group 1 chromosomes and associated deletion bins as indicated by colored boxes are provided to specify the fraction lengths of wheat chromosome bins. ESTs in blue represent those that were mapped to different regions in the wheat genome. Colinear ESTs between rice and Brachypodium are indicated by a star. BAC clones are indicated by a solid vertical bar in Contig138. The approximate distance along the contig was calculated based on CB units and is indicated in Mb.
