Large-insert genomic libraries facilitate cloning of large genomic regions, allow the construction of clone-based physical maps, and provide useful resources for sequencing entire genomes. Drosophila buzzatii is a representative species of the repleta group in the Drosophila subgenus, which is being widely used as a model in studies of genome evolution, ecological adaptation, and speciation. We constructed a Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) genomic library of D. buzzatii using the shuttle vector pTARBAC2.1. The library comprises 18,353 clones with an average insert size of 152 kb and an approximately 18x expected representation of the D. buzzatii euchromatic genome. We screened the entire library with six euchromatic gene probes and estimated the actual genome representation to be approximately 23x. In addition, we fingerprinted by restriction digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis a sample of 9555 clones, and assembled them using FingerPrint Contigs (FPC) software and manual editing into 345 contigs (mean of 26 clones per contig) and 670 singletons. Finally, we anchored 181 large contigs (containing 7788 clones) to the D. buzzatii salivary gland polytene chromosomes by in situ hybridization of 427 representative clones. The BAC library and a database with all the information regarding the high coverage BAC-based physical map described in this paper are available to the research community.

Article Synopsis
- * The analysis identified 15 genetic linkage groups/subgroups, creating a first-generation genetic map, but did not find markers related to a lethal mutation in the species.
- * Future research will aim to enhance the linkage map and combine it with additional genomic data, improving parentage diagnostics and other conservation genetics studies.

aquaculture production has experienced a great increase in the last decade and, consequently, the genome knowledge of the species is gaining attention. In this sense, obtaining a high-density genome mapping of the species could offer clues to the aquaculture improvement in those aspects not resolved so far. In the present article, a review and new processed data have allowed to obtain a high-density BAC-based cytogenetic map of beside the analysis of the sequences of such BAC clones to achieve integrative data.

Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library is an important genomic resource useful in targeted marker development, positional cloning, physical mapping and a substrate for genome sequencing for better understanding the genome organization of a species. The present manuscript elucidates the improvement in protocols for economical and efficient BAC insert DNA isolation, BAC end sequencing and FISH for physical localization on the metaphase chromosome complements. BAC clones of Clarias magur, maintained in 384-well plate format in our laboratory, were used in this study.

Background And Aims: Lolium perenne (perennial ryegrass) is the most widely cultivated forage and amenity grass species in temperate areas worldwide and there is a need to understand the genetic architectures of key agricultural traits and crop characteristics that deliver wider environmental services. Our aim was to identify genomic regions associated with agriculturally important traits by integrating a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-based physical map with a genome-wide association study (GWAS).
Methods: BAC-based physical maps for L.
