Second-generation linkage maps for the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas reveal errors in assembly of genome scaffolds
Hedgecock, D., G. Shin, A.Y. Gracey, D. Van Den Berg and M.P. Samanta. 2015. Second-generation linkage maps for the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas reveal errors in assembly of genome scaffolds. G3: Genes Genomes Genetics 5: 2007-2019.A continuation of a decade-long effort to construct genetic linkage maps for the Pacific oyster, this paper not only provided a consensus, high-density genetic map but also provided definitive evidence that the genome assembly provided by Zhang et al (2012, below) has many errors that need to be corrected.
