Whole-genome sequencing, positional cloning and comparative genomics mainly depend on the construction of high-quality physical maps. Current physical maps have been developed using agarose gel-based ...

The integration of genetic and physical maps was a defining feature of the Human Genome Project. Mapping of the cell's regulatory and signalling networks is now proceeding along highly analogous lines ...

Physical maps might feel out of date in our smartphone and GPS age but maps aren’t just for navigation. They are windows into history, culture and how we perceive the world. We visit a map library in ...
