The Chlamydomonas Genome Project includes a molecular mapping component, under direction of Drs. Carolyn Silflow and Paul Lefebvre at the University of Minnesota. The tables presented here show the molecular probes used to create the molecular maps of C. reinhardtii, BAC clones that have been associated with each linkage group, and contigs created by overlapping BACs.

All the maps were revised in June 2006 to include scaffold positions in the v3 genome assembly. A few other corrections were made, notably on linkage groups VII and XII/XIII. The maps have not been updated with later assembly data.
