Establishment of GBS and applications in biodiversity and conservation research: case study 'Alpenschwemmlinge'
Abstract
GBS is a very useful tool for research on plants and animals. The Poland et al. (2012) protocol is well suited for small- and large-genome taxa as the PstI fragments are less frequent (Truong et al. 2012). No size selection of digested fragments is necessary. By applying GBS, we aim at tracing the dispersal of individuals between populations. The proposed GBS method makes it possible to determine the degree of genetic relationship between individuals and populations and thus to understand gene flow (dispersal of seeds and/or plant fragments) between populations. 'Alpenschwemmlinge' are alpine plants growing in lowland river banks. The main research question is: To what extent are seeds (or plant fragments) swept down from the alpine zone?
