Multiplex PCR Targeted Amplicon Sequencing (MTA-Seq): Simple, Flexible, and Versatile SNP Genotyping by Highly Multiplexed PCR Amplicon Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have enabled genome re-sequencing for exploring genome-wide polymorphisms among individuals, as well as targeted re-sequencing for the rapid and simultaneous detection of polymorphisms in genes associated with various biological functions. Therefore, a simple and robust method for targeted re-sequencing should facilitate genotyping in a wide range of biological fields. In this study, we developed a simple, custom, targeted re-sequencing method, designated "multiplex PCR targeted amplicon sequencing (MTA-seq)," and applied it to the genotyping of the model grass Brachypodium distachyon. To assess the practical usability of MTA-seq, we applied it to the genotyping of genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified in natural
