SNP-Based Genetic Linkage Maps for Potato

Authors:

David Douches, Michigan State University; Heather L. Merk, The Ohio State University

This webinar was presented at the 2011 Potato Association of America conference by Dr. David Douches of Michigan State University. Dr. Douches discusses the development of linkage maps using large-scale SNP genotypes in diploid and tetraploid potato populations relevant to the Solanaceae Coordinated Agricultural Project (SolCAP).

Introduction

The Solanaceae Coordinated Agricultural Project (SolCAP) potato germplasm panel includes over 200 potato cultivars and breeding lines. The panel was phenotyped and genotyped with over 8,300 SNP markers. Several mapping populations have also been genotyped using these SNPs. During this webinar, Dr. David Douches presents the series of steps, an analytical pipeline, used for linkage mapping with these reference populations.

During the first video, Dr. Douches introduces the SNP genotyping project.

During the second video, Dr. Douches introduces SNP genotyping for mapping populations, population development, the Illumina genotyping platform, SNP quality control, and design of the SolCAP SNP chip. Dr. Douches details the requirements for genotyping a mapping population using the Illumina Infinium potato SNP chip.

During the fourth video, Dr. Douches describes linkage mapping procedures. The initial steps include preparing and formatting data and importing data. Dr. Douches walks through map generation procedures for diploids using JoinMap and post mapping quality control.

During the fifth video, Dr. Douches introduces SNP analysis specific to tetraploids, including the calling of five clusters representing the AAAA, AAAB, AABB, ABBB, BBBB classes expected with tetraploid segregation.
