SNP-RFLP Markers for the Study of <i>Arabidopsis lyrata</i>.

ABSTRACT: Arabidopsis lyrata has become a useful system for the study of comparative genomics, hybridization, polyploidization, and evolutionary transitions from outcrossing to selfing. Previous studies of its mating system have used microsatellite loci, but low allelic diversity, particularly in self-compatible populations characterized by low levels of outcrossing, reduces the utility of these markers for more detailed studies. Here, we aimed to develop population-level SNP markers for A. lyrata ssp. lyrata sampled from a self-compatible population at Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. We performed de novo SNP discovery and identified 6808 putative SNPs from genome-wide sequences of 22 individuals originating from a highly selfing population. Further filtering and marke
