Fine mapping and gene cloning in the post-NGS era: advances and prospects
In this review, the authors compare the marker systems used for fine mapping and QTL cloning in the pre- and post-NGS era. They then discuss how different NGS platforms in combination with advanced experimental designs have improved trait analysis and fine mapping.
Toward the sequence-based breeding in legumes in the post-genome sequencing era
This this article, the authors propose a sequence-based breeding approach which includes use of independent or combination of parental selection, enhancing genetic diversity of breeding programs, forward breeding for early generation selection, and genomic selection using sequencing/genotyping technologies.
