Project description:For developing the more SNPs and new high-density genetic linkage map of tea plant, two parents and their 326 progenies and 147 registered tea cultivars was sequencing by newly developed Affymetrix Axiom genotyping technology
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to construct an interspecific genetic linkage map using SNP markers generated using a genotyping by sequencing transcript approach. Methods: mRNA profiles of 14-day-old parents and 140 recombinant inbred lines were generated by high-throughput sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 3000 system. The sequence reads that passed filtering were mapped to lentil cultivar Cassab reference transcriptome using Burrows Wheeler Aligner and the SNPs generated were then clustered to linkage groups (LG) to construct a high-density linkage map using the ‘mstmap’ function from within the ASMap R package (v1.0-4) (Taylor and Butler, 2017). Results: A total of 694,694,624 paired end reads (150-bp) were generated by sequencing multiplexed cDNA libraries on the Illumina HiSeq 3000 platform with an average of 4,997,803 reads per RIL progeny. Variant calling and sequential filtering led to identification of 2,363 SNP markers which were used to construct a genetic linkage map spanning 545.5 cM with 8 linkage groups. Conclusions: The study has utilized a novel interspecific-derived RIL population to add an array of SNPs to the existing marker data for lentil, which will be of use in future genetic and genomic analyses.
