A third-generation microsatellite-based linkage map of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, and its comparison with the sequence-based physical map

The meiotic map of the honey bee is presented, including the main features that emerged from comparisons with the sequence-based physical map. The map is based on 2,008 markers and is about 40 M long, corresponding to a recombination rate of 22 cM/Mb.
