Feasibility of physical map construction from fingerprinted bacterial artificial chromosome libraries of polyploid plant species

Table 1 Characteristics of the chromosome and chromosome arm BAC libraries used in the study

AC library	Chromosome	Chromosome size (Mbp)*	Average insert size	No. clones**	Contaminating clones***	Chromosome coverage
TaaCsp3AShA	3AS telosome	351	80 kb	55296	11.0%	12.6
TaaCsp3BFhA	3B	1044	103 kb	3840	11.4%	0.4
TaaCsp3DShA	3DS telosome	285	110 kb	36864	10.0%	14.2

*Chromosome molecular sizes were determined considering 1C genome size of wheat 16 937 Mbp [32] and relative chromosome lengths as reported by Dvorak at al. [28].
**The total number of clones in the supplied libraries.
***Contamination with other chromosomes
