High quality SNPs/Indels mining and characterization in ginger from ESTs data base.

ABSTRACT: Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) is an important herb of the family Zingiberaceae. It is accepted as a universal cure for a multitude of diseases in Indian systems of medicine and its rhizomes are equally popular as a spice ingredient throughout Asia. SNPs, the definitive genetic markers, representing the finest resolution of a DNA sequence, are abundantly found in populations having a lower rate of mutation and are used for genomic analysis. The public ESTs sequences mostly lack quality files, making high quality SNPs detection more difficult since it is exclusively based on sequence comparisons. In the present study, current dbESTs of NCBI was mined and 38115 ginger ESTs sequences were obtained and assembled into contigs using CAP3 program. In this analysis, recent software tool Qualit
