Single feature polymorphism array 16K Unigenes: marker discovery in melon

ABSTRACT: One of the methods used to search for molecular markers is DNA hybridization to microarrays. Microarray hybridization of DNA from different individuals can reveal differences between them (single-feature polymorphisms (SFPs)). These SFPs can be used as markers for breeding purposes, or they can be converted to conventional markers by sequencing. This method has been utilized in a few different plants to discover genetic variation using Affymetrix arrays that exist for only a few organisms. We applied this approach, with some modifications, for marker discovery in melon. For marker discovery, we used DNA from the parents of our mapping population, developed by Katzir's group from a cross between representatives of two subspecies of Cucumis melo L.: PI414723 (subspecies agrestis) and 'Dulce'

ORGANISM(S): Cucumis melo subsp. melo
