Genomic resources for the aquaculture of European sea bass

The BASSMAP consortium, funded by the European Union, has been set up to improve the understanding of the genome of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). The specific aim is to locate genes of known function on the physical map and to compare specific regions among perciforms. We have produced an F1 cross of outbred sea bass as mapping panel and a Bacterial Artificial Chromosome library (7× redundancy and 165 kb average insert size). End sequencing of the BAC library is in progress and a radiation hybrid panel is under construction.
