The construction of a dense genetic map for Vitis vinifera and its anchoring to a BAC-based physical map is described: it includes 994 loci mapped onto 19 linkage groups, corresponding to the basic chromosome number of Vitis. Spanning 1,245 cM with an average distance of 1.3 cM between adjacent markers, the map was generated from the segregation of 483 SNP-based genetic markers, 132 SSRs, and 3...
