Abstract

Plant and animal breeding is a numbers game! The more individuals produced and characterised, the more chance there is of both generating and identifying a favourable combination of alleles. Currently, marker assisted breeding is limited to gel based technologies such as RFLPs, AFLPs and SSRs. In this proposal we intend to develop a multi-allelic, multi-locus, non-gel based, genotyping system which is amenable to both large scale, central production and automated scoring. The system will find many applications in those laboratories which carry out marker assisted breeding and large scale genotyping projects. (Joint with grant GAT09151).
