Estimation of copy number in polyploid plants: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic studies in polyploid plants rely heavily on the collection of data from dominant marker loci. A dominant marker locus is a locus for which only the presence or absence of an observable (dominant) allele is recorded. Before these marker loci can be used for genetic exploration, the number of copies of a dominant allele carried by a parent (copy number) must be determined for each marker locus. Copy number...
