Characterising genetic variation in Brassica napus

Abstract:: Improvements in technology continue to reduce costs and increase throughput for generating DNA sequence information and determining genetic variation. The application of these technologies is revolutionising biotechnology, medicine and agriculture. The greatest value of DNA sequence is through the association of genetic variation with heritable traits. We aim to develop and validate a novel strategy to identify genetic variation in a complex crop genome, using the amphidiploid canola genome as a model. Once established, this strategy may be applied for the cost effective characterisation of genetic variation in other important species. '',
