Associative transcriptomics of traits in the polyploid crop species Brassica napus
Sequencing a genome and identifying genetic markers lays the groundwork for genome-wide association studies, but can be difficult to achieve for polyploid species. Harper et al. present an approach for performing association studies using genetic maps and markers generated from transcriptome sequenc...

Summary: | Sequencing a genome and identifying genetic markers lays the groundwork for genome-wide association studies, but can be difficult to achieve for polyploid species. Harper et al. present an approach for performing association studies using genetic maps and markers generated from transcriptome sequencing data alone and apply it to the polyploid crop Brassica napus. |
