TLDR
This operational DArT array will deliver 1,000-2,000 polymorphic markers for linkage mapping in most eucalypt pedigrees and thus provide high genome coverage and will also provide a high-throughput platform for population genetics and phylogenetics in EucalyPTus.
Abstract
Background A number of molecular marker technologies have allowed important advances in the understanding of the genetics and evolution of Eucalyptus, a genus that includes over 700 species, some of which are used worldwide in plantation forestry. Nevertheless, the average marker density achieved with current technologies remains at the level of a few hundred markers per population. Furthermore, the transferability of markers produced with most existing technology across species and pedigrees is usually very limited. High throughput, combined with wide genome coverage and high transferability are necessary to increase the resolution, speed and utility of molecular marker technology in eucalypts. We report the development of a high-density DArT genome profiling resource and demonstrate its potential for genome-wide diversity analysis and linkage mapping in several species of Eucalyptus.

Diversity arrays technology (DArT) for high-throughput profiling of the hexaploid wheat genome

TL;DR: It is shown that DArT performs similarly well for the hexaploid genome of bread wheat as it did for barley, and the genetic relationships among bread wheat cultivars revealed by D ArT coincided with knowledge generated with other methods, and even closely related cultivars could be distinguished.
