Easy-to-use indel markers for genetic mapping between col-0 and ler-0 accessions of arabidopsis thaliana

Map-based gene cloning has played a key role in many genetic studies using the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. In the post-next generation sequencing era, identification of point mutations and their corresponding genes is increasingly becoming a powerful and important approach to define plant gene function. To perform initial mapping experiments efficiently on Arabidopsis mutants, enrichment of easy-to-use and reliable polymorphic DNA markers would be desirable. We present here a list of InDel polymorphic markers between Col-0 and Ler-0 accessions that can be detected in standard agarose gel electrophoresis.
