BRASSICALES MAP ALIGNMENT PROJECT (BMAP)

Overview

These pages have been set up to hold information (including notes from meetings, a list of target species etc.) for the Brassicales Map Alignment Project (BMAP). BMAP is analagous to a similar initiative that has been established for Oryza (OMAP).
