SNP marker development for plant breeding

A Plant Breeding, Genetics, and Biotechnology Division Seminar (PBGB) Seminar

Postdoctoral fellow
Genotyping Services Laboratory, PBGB

1400 H, Wednesday, 28 August 2013
Room A, D.L. Umali Auditorium, IRRI

Abstract: 
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers have become the preferred choice for marker-assisted selection in breeding programs because of their abundance, biallelic nature, and the availability of high-throughput, semi-automated platforms. This seminar will introduce the process of SNP marker development and applications of SNP marker in plant breeding.
