Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The guppy, Poecilia reticulata, is a well-known model organism for studying inheritance and variation of male ornamental traits as well as adaptation to different river habitats. However, genomic resources for studying this important model were not previously widely available. RESULTS: With the aim of generating molecular markers for genetic mapping of the guppy, cDNA libraries were constructed from...
