MIPs: multi-locus intron polymorphisms in species identification and population genomics.

ABSTRACT: The study of species groups in which the presence of interspecific hybridization or introgression phenomena is known or suspected involves analysing shared bi-parentally inherited molecular markers. Current methods are based on different categories of markers among which the classical microsatellites or the more recent genome wide approaches for the analyses of thousands of SNPs or hundreds of microhaplotypes through high throughput sequencing. Our approach utilizes intron-targeted amplicon sequencing to characterise multi-locus intron polymorphisms (MIPs) and assess genetic diversity. These highly variable intron regions, combined with inter-specific transferable loci, serve as powerful multiple-SNP markers potentially suitable for various applications, from species and hybrid identificat
