DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF GENOME WIDE 64K SNP CHIP OF GRAIN AMARANTH (AMARANTHUS HYPOCHONDRIACUS)

Technology Details
The technology involves a genome-wide Amaranth 64K SNP chip based on a high-quality reference sequence of the Amaranthus hypochondriacus genome. The genome-wide SNP chip comprises genic SNPs from 8000 plus genes, along with a substantial number of intergenic SNPs, boasting an array reproducibility of greater than 99%.
The 64K SNP chip described here can be used for diverse applications, including genetic mapping, molecular core development, association mapping, haplotyping, molecular breeding, and evolutionary relationship studies in Amaranthus. Additionally, this technology has broad applications in genetic diversity analysis, population structure, core development, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
