Abstract excerpt
Over 3.5 million expressed sequence tags from the major cereal taxa were used to electronically mine over 176,000 putative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The density, distribution and degree of linkage between these SNPs were compared among the different taxa. The frequency of sequence polymorphism was lowest in diploid taxa (rice, barley and sorghum), intermediate in tetraploid maize and highest in...
