The development of ideal insertion and deletion (InDel) markers and initial indel map variation in cucumber using re-sequenced data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

InDels are the most common type of length polymorphism and play a critical role in the genetic traits of many important phenotypes in both plants and animals, making them an ideal source for length polymorphism molecular markers. However, in the process of cucumber breeding, researchers still face deficiencies in the identification of InDel loci and the development of genomic-wide molecular markers.

Results

In this study, we conducted InDel identification on 115 cucumber re-sequencing datasets, identifying a total of 7,842,946 InDels, with lengths ranging from 1 to 59 bp and an average density of one InDel every 2.8 kb on the chromosomes. The InDel variations were classified into four main categories, and 81 InDel hotspots were identified, serving as the foundatio
