A high-recovery, high-density targeted genotyping platform for cranberry.

ABSTRACT: The American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is a commercially important berry species native to North America. Cranberry is a popular fruit crop with many known health benefits. Thus far, genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) was the only high-throughput genotyping technique available in cranberry. While GBS is cost efficient, it has the disadvantage of producing variant calls that cannot be easily transferred between populations and across studies. In this study, we report the development of the first targeted high-throughput genotyping platform for cranberry. The Flex-Seq genotyping technology offers repeatable, high-recovery, and high-density single nucleotide polymorphisms as well as concomitant haplotypes. The cranberry Flex-Seq platform contains 17,502 loci, boasting a recovery rate of 9
