In recent years, molecular markers have been utilized for a variety of applications including
examination of genetic relationships between individuals, mapping of useful genes …

Expressed sequence tag (EST) projects have generated a vast amount of publicly available
sequence data from plant species; these data can be mined for simple sequence repeats …

The advent of next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) technologies has led to the
development of rapid genome-wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) detection …

Simple-sequence repeats (SSRs) have increasingly become the marker of choice for
population genetic analyses. Unfortunately, the development of traditional 'anonymous' …

Background The tuberous root of sweetpotato is an important agricultural and biological
organ. There are not sufficient transcriptomic and genomic data in public databases for …

Background Sesame is an important oil crop, but limited transcriptomic and genomic data
are currently available. This information is essential to clarify the fatty acid and lignan …

Plant genomes are complex and contain large amounts of repetitive DNA including
microsatellites that are distributed across entire genomes. Whole genome sequences of …

Background Earlier comparative maps between the genomes of rice (Oryza sativa L.), barley
(Hordeum vulgare L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were linkage maps based on cDNA …

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers are widely used in many plant and animal genomes
due to their abundance, hypervariability, and suitability for high-throughput analysis …

Evaluation of the genetic diversity among populations is an essential prerequisite for the
preservation of endangered species. Thousands of new accessions are introduced into …
