A special thanks to the speakers and participants who came from the 19 countries and over 60 institutions that helped to make it such a success. The average insert size is 165 kb and there is 10X coverage of the porcine genome. Each hybridization membrane represents over 18,000 distinct porcine BAC clones, stamped in duplicate.

This brings the total number of fluorescent primer pairs distributed by the U.S. Pig Genome Coordinator to 377 pairs. Please continue to make use of them and also be sure to acknowledge their source as it helps to improve cooperation and coordination activities. The RH panel for swine is available. Developed at INRA in Toulouse and tested extensively by the University of Minnesota the panel is now ready for distribution. Considerable funding will be provided by the US Pig Genome Coordinator to help support this distribution activity.
