High information content fingerprints (HICF) were obtained for 32719 large insert clones from a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library representing approximately 5.5 haploid equivalents of the Amborella trichocarpa genome. The HIFC date were used to construct a draft physical map with 3106 contigs and 1356 singletons. BAC end sequences (BESs) were generated for the fingerprinted clones comprising 48.25 Mbp, or roughly 5.4% of the complete Amborella genome. BAC end sequences were related to the physical map and used to identify regions of synteny between regions of the Amborella genome and the sequenced Arabidopsis, Oryza, Populus and Vitis genomes. Regions of microsynteny were also observed in contiguously sequenced segments of the Amborella genome. The sequenced genomes were compared with respect to the frequency of regions of synteny with the Amborella physical map, and parsimony mapping of loss of synteny suggests a much slower rate of structural evolution in the Vitis lineage relative to the others. The Amborella physical map provides a glimpse of genome structure in the last common ancestor of extant angiosperms and sets the stage for generating a complete genome sequence for Amborella.
