Welcome to mimulusevolution.org!

This website provides access to genomic resources in the monkeyflower genus Mimulus (Phrymaceae), a popular model for the study of plant evolution. These resources include Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs), Bacterial Artifical Chromosome (BAC) clones and libraries, seeds from wild populations and permanent mapping populations, genetic markers, and integrated genetic and physical maps.

What's New

24 Apr 2008

• SNP positions:
SNP positions can now be viewed after searching by marker name

• Phytome unigene link:
Unigenes are now linked to Phytome (Plant Comparative Genomics Resource)

19 June 2006

First public release of data.

• Gene sequences:
8026 unigenes (build 6, 17-Nov-2005) based on 12511 floral ESTs, which can be browsed, searched using BLAST, and downloaded

• Markers:
859 gene-based markers for genetic and physical mapping, including primer &
overgo sequences for each, and a subset containing sequence polymorphism
data 155 AFLP and 15 SSR legacy markers

• Maps:
M. guttatus IM62 x M. nasutus SF F2N1 genetic linkage map, which contains 310 markers.
CUGI M. guttatus FPC map (release 3, 22 May 2006), including 4442 HICF contigs for 56624 BACs
