Development of a cost-effective high-throughput mid-density 5K genotyping assay for germplasm characterization and breeding in groundnut.

ABSTRACT: Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), also known as peanut, is an allotetraploid legume crop composed of two different progenitor sub-genomes. This crop is an important source for food, feed, and confectioneries. Leveraging translational genomics research has expedited the precision and speed in making selections of progenies in several crops through either marker-assisted selection or genomic selection, including groundnut. The availability of foundational genomic resources such as reference genomes for diploid progenitors and cultivated tetraploids, offered substantial opportunities for genomic interventions, including the development of genotyping assays. Here, a cost-effective and high-throughput genotyping assay has been developed with 5,081 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) referred
