Development of an alfalfa SNP array and its use to evaluate patterns of population structure and linkage disequilibrium.

A large set of genome-wide markers and a high-throughput genotyping platform can facilitate the genetic dissection of complex traits and accelerate molecular breeding applications. Previously, we identified about 0.9 million SNP markers by sequencing transcriptomes of 27 diverse alfalfa genotypes. F...
