Abstract We constructed a restriction site associated DNA RAD marker microarray to facilitate rapid genetic mapping of zebrafish mutations. Using these microarrays with a bulk segregant approach we localized previously unmapped mutations to genomic regions just a few centiMorgans in length. Furthermore we developed an approach to assay individual RAD markers in pooled populations and refined one region. The RAD approach is highly effective for genetic mapping in zebrafish and is an attractive option for mapping in other organisms. Background Zebrafish Danio rerio has become an important model system for the study of vertebrate development and human disease for the assignment of function to genes otherwise known only by sequence and for the identification of novel functions for genes with previously described functions 1-5 . The success of zebrafish investigation has in large part .
