From phylogenomics to breeding: Can universal target capture probes be used in the development of SNP markers for kinship analysis?

ABSTRACT:

Premise

Leveraging DNA markers, particularly single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), in parentage analysis, sib-ship reconstruction, and genomic relatedness analysis can enhance plant breeding efficiency. However, the limited availability of genomic information, confined to the most commonly used species, hinders the broader application of SNPs in species of lower economic interest (e.g., most tree species). We explored the possibility of using universal target capture probes, namely Angiosperms353, to identify SNPs and assess their effectiveness in genomic relatedness analysis.

Methods

We tested the approach in 11 tree species, six of which had a half-sib family structure. Variants were called within species, and genomic relatedness analysis was conducted in species with tw
