NSCPHD1083 GWAS and QTL mapping in plants
The course provides insight into the genetic and theoretical
background of linkage mapping, association mapping and the
detection of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL´s) in plants, based on
segregating populations and association mapping.
The course gives you the theoretical basis (as far as necessary)
and the hands-on experience within the following areas:
Most common genetic marker system
Construction of genetic maps (linkage and physical).
Association (marker x marker, and marker x trait)
QTL mapping (single marker and interval mapping)
GWAS (populations structure, association analysis)
Candidate genes and causal variants (reverse genetics, KO,
silencing, metabolomics, biosynthetic pathways), synteni between
genomes
All these methods will relate to plants.
