The Next-Generation Sequencing Revolution in Soybean: GBS, SNP arrays, WGS and BeyondSaturday, 20 August 2016 at 09:00 Add to Calendar ▼2016-08-20 09:00:002016-08-20 10:00:00Europe/LondonThe Next-Generation Sequencing Revolution in Soybean: GBS, SNP arrays, WGS and BeyondAgriGenomics India 2016 in New DelhiNew DelhiSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com This Keynote Talk will focus on exploitation of NGS tools in soybean and other crop species for developing efficient genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approaches and analytical tools to provide cost-effective genotyping solutions to breeders. First part of the talk will focus on their latest pipeline (Fast-GBS) for calling SNPs from GBS read data and will provide an overview of its efficiency and accuracy. In second part of the talk, the speaker will illustrate how such dense genome-wide SNP coverage can facilitate the identification of QTLs that are highly relevant to a specific set of breeding materials. In closing, a brief overview of the SoyaGen project will be discussed. |
