Economic assessment of genetic variation in V. arctostaphylos
Abstract
Deciphering the variation among different phenotypes of wild plants is of significant relevance. The knowledge of rare and particularly valuable variants will entail rapid and accurate determination of genetic variants. Further, knowledge of the rare variants underlying traits of interest can also lead to insight about the more complex phenotypes that involve the combined effect of multiple loci and pathways. In general, most of the functional variation resides in the coding regions of the genome. Thus it is logical to begin with coding region to discover the causative genetic variants of traits of interest. Further, this approach also has cost advantages over whole genome approaches, since protein coding sequences only constitute a small fraction of the entire genome (Cosart et al. 2011, Bamshad et al. 2011).
