Abstract Background Worldwide coral reefs are in decline due to a range of anthropogenic disturbances and are now also under threat from global climate change. Virtually nothing is currently known about the genetic factors that might determine whether corals adapt to the changing climate or continue to decline. Quantitative genetics studies aiming to identify the adaptively important genomic loci will require a high-resolution genetic linkage map. The phylogenetic position of corals also suggests important applications for a coral genetic map in studies of ancestral metazoan genome architecture. Results We constructed a high-resolution genetic linkage map for the reef-building coral Acropora millepora the first genetic map reported for any coral or any non-Bilaterian animal. More than 500 single nucleotide polymorphism SNP markers were developed most of which are transferable in populations from Orpheus Island and Great Keppel Island. The map contains 429 markers 393 gene-based SNPs and 36 .
