Agricutural Genomics Webinar March 2, 2010 The webinar will begin at 9:00AM (GMT -8) via WebEx
Dr. Patrick S. Schnable, Baker Professor of Agronomy from Iowa State University, will present “High-throughput genetic mapping of mutants via quantitative SNP-typing” using Sequenom MassARRAY system.
Dr. Schnable will discuss how to convert putative SNPs discovered by next gen sequencing into genetic markers that can be scored reliably and used to generate a SNP-based maize genetic map. He will also share his experiences in developing a strategy to rapidly map the loci associated with recessive mutants, taking advantage of the quantitative nature of the Sequenom-based SNP assays.
