Streamlining of Simple Sequence Repeat Data Mining Methodologies and Pipelines for Crop Scanning.

ABSTRACT: Genetic markers are powerful tools for understanding genetic diversity and the molecular basis of traits, ushering in a new era of molecular breeding in crops. Over the past 50 years, DNA markers have rapidly changed, moving from hybridization-based and second-generation-based to sequence-based markers. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are the ideal markers in plant breeding, and they have numerous desirable properties, including their repeatability, codominance, multi-allelic nature, and locus specificity. They can be generated from any species, which requires prior sequence knowledge. SSRs may serve as evolutionary tuning knobs, allowing for rapid identification and adaptation to new circumstances. The evaluations published thus far have mostly ignored SSR polymorphism and gene evolution d
