Peanut research community has come a long way with speedy development of genomic resources during the past decade.As of now, several thousand molecular markers (i.e.SSRs, SNPs and DArTs) have become available.The majority of these were employed in development of genetic maps which unfortunately ended up with low marker density.Therefore, mapping information of these individual genetic maps was integrated and the first generation consensus map with 897 marker loci was developed.
