Article Synopsis
- Most plant traits are influenced by many genes, and traditional methods like linkage mapping are slow and not very precise, making them less effective for breeding crops.
- Newer methods such as bulk segregant analysis sequencing (BSA-seq) and similar techniques offer a faster, more accurate way to identify genetic loci for specific traits using advanced sequencing technologies.
- Though BSA-seq has shown great success in identifying genetic traits, its effectiveness relies on factors like sequencing depth and coverage, but the decreasing costs of sequencing technology are making these methods more viable for crop improvement.
