The ISU Maize Mapping Project announces the release of the IBM_IDP_bd map (ver 5).
This map contains 3,149 gene-based IDP markers generated
by the ISU Maize Genetic Mapping. This map was generated in collaboration with the lab of Abraham
Korol at the University of Haifa using their MultiMap software.

Mexico Trip
August 7-13, 2005 During the second week of August 2005, students from Truman State University and Iowa State University, accompanied by Drs. Brent Buckner and Diane Janick-Buckner of TSU, will travel to Mexico. They will spend three days at CIMMYT
, the International Center for Maize and Wheat Improvement, near Mexico City. Activities will include presentations to and by CIMMYT scientists, touring the seed collections and field station, and shadowing researchers at the Applied Biotechnology Labs.
Following the CIMMYT visit, students will spend two days visiting anthropological sites and museums to learn more about how corn cultivation influenced an ancient civilization.
February 18, 2005The ISU Maize Mapping Project is pleased to announce the release of the IBM_IDB+MMP_bd map (ver 4). This map contains 1,417 gene-based IDP markers generated by the ISU Maize Mapping Project and 2,048 markers downloaded from the Missouri Mapping Project (MMP). This map was generated in collaboration with the lab of Abraham Korol at the University of Haifa using their MultiMap software. The project is anticipating releasing an updated map containing a total of ~3000 IDP markers prior to the Maize Ge
netics Conference in March.
November 21, 2004 We are soliciting from the community requests to map specific Maize Asssembled Genomic Islands (MAGIs) for which maize transcripts exist. If you would like us to attempt to map a specific MAGI p
lease visit the MAGI web site and submit a mapping request.

On June 15-16, 2004, Dr. Brent Buckner of Truman State University and three TSU undergraduates, Ben Schmidt, Ryan Douglas, Kristen Haley, who are working on the maize mapping project visited Iowa State University. The group met with members of the Schnab
le lab maize mapping team (Dr. TJ Wen, Debbie Chen, Rita Chen, Ling Guo, Elizabeth Han, and Dr. Pat Schnable) and received a demonstration of the Temperature Gradient Capillary Electrophoresis (Spectrumedix) equipment. They also toured the ISU campus, the maize diversity planting at the Curtiss farm, the Plan
t Introduction Station, and the DNA sequencing and proteomics facilities. Additionally, the group
met with Ms. Linda Wild of the Interdepartmental Genetics Program.
