Maize transposon flanking sequence tags from the UniformMu Robertson's Mutator tagging population

Roberston's Mutator (Mu) transposon flanking sequence tags were sequenced from 144 transposon tagging lines from the maize UniformMu population (McCarty et al, 2005). TAIL-PCR products were amplified from 24 pools of 12 lines arranged in a 12 x 12 grid (Settles et al, 2004). The products were sequenced on GS-FLX 454 platform using custom adapter primers that gave directional reads from the transposon end as well as a 4 bp molecular bar code.
