Abstract:
Medaka (Oryzias latipes) has many advantages for genetic and developmental studies. With recent advances in the genome analyses of other species, rapid accumulation of resources for medaka genomics is expected. In this study, we generated an arrayed medaka cosmid library from the HNI inbred strain, carrying a 40-kb insert on average. The library consists of approximately 120,000 clones with a 6-fold genomic coverage. Cosmid clones can be screened within 2 days using standard polymerase chain reaction. Considering the advantage of the cosmid insert size and the compact genome size of the medaka, this library provides a powerful tool for future genome analyses.
