Abstract

The maintenance of internationally competitive research programmes in the biological sciences is becomingly increasingly dependent upon the exploitation of genomics and post-genomics resources. In plant science, the ability to efficiently position genetic loci relative to genome sequences, physical maps and genetic maps is crucial. Molecular markers based on the exploitation of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) provide the most efficient, sensitive and widely applicable approach. SNP technology is not established in the UK plant science community and requires expensive and specialised equipment. We aim to establish two new SNP analysis systems and evaluate their performance in a range of ongoing plant genetic analysis programmes. The equipment will be housed in a state-of- the-art genomics facility on the JIC campus and will be made widely accessible.
