Spiked GBS: a unified open platform for single marker genotyping and whole-genome profiling

摘要

BackgroundIn plant breeding, there are two primary applications for DNA markers in selection: 1) selection of known genes using a single marker assay (marker-assisted selection; MAS); and 2) whole-genome profiling and prediction (genomic selection; GS). Typically, marker platforms have addressed only one of these objectives.
