- Generate a 5-fold haploid genome equivalent physical map of the barley genome by “High Information Content Fingerprinting (HICF)”.
- Low-pass sequencing of up to 2500 BAC clones. These clones represent anchor clones of independent contigs on the HICF map.
- Anchoring of 1000 gene- or BACend sequence-derived markers of the barley genetic map to multidimensional BAC pools of clones included in the HICF map of barley.
- Anchoring of genomic DNA-markers generated by Diversity Array Technology (DArT) on multidimensional BAC pools.
- Whole chromosome arm shotgun sequencing (WCS) of flow-sorted arms of barley chromosome 3HS.
- Isolation of two genes underlying agronomic traits with specific importance to German agriculture.
- Establishing a bioinformatics platform for cross-referencing and integration of physical mapping, genetic mapping and various genome sequence data and advanced sequence data analysis.
