Development of SSR markers and construction of a linkage map in jute.

TLDR
An additional set of 607 novel SSR in 393 SSR containing sequences is reported, however, primers could be designed for only 417 potentially useful SSR, which will prove useful for identification of quantitative trait loci/genes for molecular breeding involving improvement of fibre fineness and other related traits in jute.
Abstract
Jute is an important natural fibre crop, which is only second to cotton in its importance at the global level. It is mostly grown in Indian subcontinent and has been recently used for the development of genomics resources. We recently initiated a programme to develop simple sequence repeat markers and reported a set of 2469 SSR that were developed using four SSR-enriched libraries (Mir et al.2009). In this communication, we report an additional set of 607 novel SSR in 393 SSR containing sequences. However, primers could be designed for only 417 potentially useful SSR. Polymorphism survey was carried out for 374 primer pairs using two parental genotypes (JRO 524 and PPO4) of a mapping population developed for fibre fineness; only 66 SSR were polymorphic. Owing to a low level of polymorphism between the parental genotypes and a high degree of segregation distortion in recombinant inbred lines, genotypic data of only 53 polymorphic SSR on the mapping population consisting of 120 RIL could be used for the construction of a linkage map; 36 SSR loci were mapped on six linkage groups that covered a total genetic distance of 784.3 cM. Hopefully, this map will be enriched with more SSR loci in future and will prove useful for identification of quantitative trait loci/genes for molecular breeding involving improvement of fibre fineness and other related traits in jute.

Exploring genetic variability within lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) and across related legumes using a newly developed set of microsatellite markers.

TL;DR: The new set ofSSR markers reported here were efficient and highly polymorphic and would add to the existing repertoire of lentil SSR markers to be utilized in molecular breeding and facilitate germplasm utilization for lentil improvement.

Development of a set of SSR markers for genetic polymorphism detection and interspecific hybrid jute breeding

TL;DR: Annotation of the SSR-containing unigenes revealed their putative functions in various biological and molecular processes, including responses to biotic and abiotic signals, and suggested these markers can efficiently measure genetic diversity and serve for mapping of quantitative trait loci in jute.

Construction of a genetic linkage map in man using restriction fragment length polymorphisms.

TL;DR: A new basis for the construction of a genetic linkage map of the human genome is described, to develop, by recombinant DNA techniques, random single-copy DNA probes capable of detecting DNA sequence polymorphisms, when hybridized to restriction digests of an individual's DNA.

Base-calling of automated sequencer traces using Phred. I. accuracy assessment

TL;DR: In this article, a base-calling program for automated sequencer traces, phred, with improved accuracy was proposed. But it was not shown to achieve a lower error rate than the ABI software, averaging 40%-50% fewer errors in the data sets examined independent of position in read, machine running conditions, or sequencing chemistry.

The estimation of map distances from recombination values.

TL;DR: The genetic map is a tool to quantify the distance between genes on a chromosome, based on the observed frequency of crossovers during cell division, which is used to estimate the total distance between chromosomes.

Ribosomal DNA spacer-length polymorphisms in barley: mendelian inheritance, chromosomal location, and population dynamics.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the rDNA sl variants and/or associated loci are under selection in CCII, which demonstrates that Rrn1 and Rrn2 are useful as new genetic markers.
