To William,
I went to the search sites and did not find exactly what you were looking
for. But I do know some of the researchers who work with the detail of
publishing info on trying to complete the genetic markers, genes,etc., on the
various chromosome arms of the tomato and related species. Much of the
information is mumbo jumbo to the average person, but I use the info which
applies to genetic stock that has the loci info that I need in highly
expressed plant expressions of said genes. So much of the genome work is
with chemical type info that is useless to me.
Is there any thing I could help you with, the genome mapping is boring on the
various prints that I have seen, but then again, in the eyes of the beholder.
If you talk with Roger C. at the Charles Rick collection in Davis, Ca., and
several people with the Tomato Genetics Cooperative, you may certainly get
more than you bargained for.
