From #phylogenomics to breeding: Can universal target capture probes be used in the development of SNP markers for kinship analysis? New in #AppsPlantSci by Kedra Ousmael & Ole Hansen bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #botany #Angiosperms353 #iamabotanist

Comparison of genomic relatedness computed with SNPs identified based on Angiosperms353 and DArTseq SNPs in 20 individuals belonging to Cordia africana. (Left) A heatmap showing pairwise genomic relatedness based on the Angiosperms353-based SNPs in the upper diagonal and the DArTseq SNPs in the lower diagonal. (Right) A graph showing the correlation between the genomic relatedness values computed with the two sets of SNPs.
