Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is one of the most important horticultural species, which includes several taxonomic groups. With the advent of next-generation sequencing, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers are widely used in the study of genetic diversity and genomics. RESULTS: We report the first successful application of genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technology in melon. We detected 25,422 SNPs...
