Abstract excerpt
Discovering single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in specific genes in a heterozygous polyploid plant species, such as sugarcane, is challenging because of the presence of a large number of homologues. To discover SNPs for mapping genes of interest, 454 sequencing of 307 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplicons (> 59 kb of sequence) was undertaken. One region of a four-gasket sequencing run, on a 454 Genome...
