Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence for the prevalence of copy number variation (CNV) and its role in phenotypic variation in many eukaryotic species. Here we use array comparative genomic hybridization to explore the extent of this type of structural variation in domesticated barley cultivars and wild barleys. RESULTS: A collection of 14 barley genotypes including eight cultivars and six wild barleys were used...
