Key message We characterise the distribution of crossover and non-crossover
recombination in Brassica napus and Cicer arietinum using a low-coverage genotyping by
sequencing pipeline SkimGBS. Abstract The growth of next-generation DNA sequencing
technologies has led to a rapid increase in sequence-based genotyping for applications
including diversity assessment, genome structure validation and gene–trait association. We
have established a skim-based genotyping by sequencing method for crop plants and …

The growth of next generation DNA sequencing technologies has led to a rapid increase in
sequence based genotyping, for applications including diversity assessment, genome
structure validation and gene-trait association. With the reducing cost of sequence data
generation and the increasing availability of reference genomes, there are opportunities to
develop high density genotyping methods based on whole genome re-sequencing. We
have established a skimbased genotyping by sequencing method for crop plants and have …
