- 17 March 2003
Annual and perennial habit are two major strategies by which grasses adapt to seasonal environmental change, and these distinguish cultivated cereals from their wild relatives. Rhizomatousness, a key… Expand
Quality assessment parameters for EST-derived SNPs from catfish
- S. Wang, Zhenxia Sha, +6 authors Z. Liu
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Genomics
- 30 September 2008
BackgroundSNPs are abundant, codominantly inherited, and sequence-tagged markers. They are highly adaptable to large-scale automated genotyping, and therefore, are most suitable for association… Expand
