Background: Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oil crop only after soybean, canola and peanuts. A high-quality genetic map is the foundation of marker-assisted selection (MAS). However, for this species, the high-density maps have been reported limitedly. Objective: In this study, we proposed the construction of a high-density genetic linkage map by the F7 population of sunflowers using SNP and SSR Markers. Methods: The SLAF-seq strategy was employed to further develop SNP markers with SSR markers to construct the high-density genetic map by the HighMap software. Results: A total of 1,138 million paired-end reads (226Gb) were obtained and 518,900 SLAFs were detected. Of the polymorphic SLAFs, 2,472,245 SNPs were developed and finally, 5,700 SNPs were found to be ideal to construct a genetic map after filtering. The final high-density genetic map included 4,912 SNP and 93 SSR markers distributed in 17 linkage groups (LGs) and covered 2,425.05 cM with an average marker interval of 0.49 cM. Conclusion: The final result demonstrated that the SLAF-seq strategy is suitable for SNP markers detection. The genetic map reported in this study can be considered as one of the most highdensity genetic linkage maps of sunflower and could lay a foundation for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) fine mapping or map-based gene cloning.

Abstract Background A high-density genetic linkage map is essential for QTL fine mapping, comparative genome analysis, identification of candidate genes and marker-assisted selection in aquaculture species. Pelteobagrus vachelli is a very popular commercial species in Asia. However, some specific characters hindered achievement of the traditional selective breeding based on phenotypes, such as lack of large-scale genomic resource and short of markers tightly associated with growth, sex determination and hypoxia tolerance related traits. Results By making use of 5059 ddRAD markers in P. vachelli, a high-resolution genetic linkage map was successfully constructed. The map’ length was 4047.01 cM by using an interval of 0.11 cm, which is an average marker standard. Comparative genome mapping revealed that a high proportion (83.2%) of markers with a one-to-one correspondence were observed between P. vachelli and P. fulvidraco. Based on the genetic map, 8 significant genome-wide QTLs for 4 weight, 1 body proportion, 2 sex determination, and 1 hypoxia tolerance related traits were detected on 4 LGs. Some SNPs from these significant genome-wide QTLs were observably associated with these phenotypic traits in other individuals by Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR. In addition, two candidate genes for weight, Sipa1 and HSD11B2, were differentially expressed between fast-, medium- and slow-growing P. vachelli. Sema7a, associated with hypoxia tolerance, was induced after hypoxia exposure and reoxygenation. Conclusions We mapped a set of suggestive and significant QTLs as well as candidate genes for 12 growth, 1 sex determination and 1 hypoxia tolerance related traits based on a high-density genetic linkage map by making use of SNP markers for P. fulvidraco. Our results have offered a valuable method about the much more efficient production of all-male, fast growth and hypoxia tolerance P. vachelli for the aquaculture industry.

A high-density genetic map of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) was constructed using an F1 population constructed by crossing two main Chinese cultivars ‘Chuanzhihong’ and ‘Luotuohuang’, coupled with a recently developed reduced representation library (RRL) sequencing. The average sequencing depth was 38.97 in ‘Chuanzhihong’ (female parent), 33.05 in ‘Luotuohuang’ (male parent), and 8.91 in each progeny. Based on the sequencing data, 12 451 polymorphic markers were developed and used in the construction of the genetic linkage map. The final map of apricot comprised eight linkage groups, including 1991 markers, and covered 886.25 cM of the total map length. The average distance between adjacent markers was narrowed to 0.46 cM. Gaps larger than 5 cM only accounted for <0.33%. To our knowledge, this map is the densest genetic linkage map that is currently available for apricot research. It is a valuable linkage map for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) identification of important agronomic traits. Moreover, the high marker density and well-ordered markers that this linkage map provides will be useful for molecular breeding of apricot as well. In this study, we applied this map in the QTL analysis of an important agronomic trait, pistil abortion. Several QTLs were detected and mapped respectively to the middle regions of LG5 (51.005∼59.4 cM) and LG6 (72.884∼76.562 cM), with nine SLAF markers closely linked to pistil abortion. The high-density genetic map and QTLs detected in this study will facilitate marker-assisted breeding and apricot genomic study.

This study reports a high density genetic linkage map based on the ‘Maryland 96-5722’ by ‘Spencer’ recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and constructed exclusively with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. The Illumina Infinium SoySNP6K BeadChip genotyping array produced 5,376 SNPs in the mapping population, with a 96.75% success rate. Significant level of goodness-of-fit for each locus was tested based on the observed vs. expected ratio (1:1). Out of 5,376 markers, 1,465 SNPs fit the 1:1 segregation rate having ≤20% missing data plus heterozygosity among the RILs. Among this 1,456 just 657 were polymorphic between the parents DNAs tested. These 657 SNPs were mapped using the JoinMap 4.0 software and 550 SNPs were distributed on 16 linkage groups (LGs) among the 20 chromosomes of the soybean genome. The total map length was just 201.57 centiMorgans (cM) with an average marker density of 0.37 cM. This is one of the high density SNP-based genetic linkage maps of soybean that will be used by the scientific community to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) and identify candidate genes for important agronomic traits in soybean.

Specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) is a recently developed high-resolution strategy for the discovery of large-scale de novo genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. In the present research, in order to facilitate genome-guided breeding in potato, this strategy was used to develop a large number of SNP markers and construct a high-density genetic linkage map for tetraploid potato. The genomic DNA extracted from 106 F1 individuals derived from a cross between two tetraploid potato varieties YSP-4 × MIN-021 and their parents was used for high-throughput sequencing and SLAF library construction. A total of 556.71 Gb data, which contained 2269.98 million pair-end reads, were obtained after preprocessing. According to bioinformatics analysis, a total of 838,604 SLAF labels were developed, with an average sequencing depth of 26.14-fold for parents and 15.36-fold for offspring of each SLAF, respectively. In total, 113,473 polymorphic SLAFs were obtained, from which 7638 SLAFs were successfully classified into four segregation patterns. After filtering, a total of 7329 SNP markers were detected for genetic map construction. The final integrated linkage map of tetraploid potato included 3001 SNP markers on 12 linkage groups, and covered 1415.88 cM, with an average distance of 0.47 cM between adjacent markers. To our knowledge, the integrated map described herein has the best coverage of the potato genome and the highest marker density for tetraploid potato. This work provides a foundation for further quantitative trait loci (QTL) location, map-based gene cloning of important traits and marker-assisted selection (MAS) of potato.

Abstract Background The Chinese giant salamander Andrias davidianus is an important amphibian species in China because of its increasing economic value, protection status and special evolutionary position from aquatic to terrestrial animal. Its large genome presents challenges to genetic research. Genetic linkage mapping is an important tool for genome assembly and determination of phenotype-related loci. Results In this study, we constructed a high-density genetic linkage map using ddRAD sequencing technology to obtain SNP genotyping data of members from an full-sib family which sex had been determined. A total of 10,896 markers were grouped and oriented into 30 linkage groups, representing 30 chromosomes of A. davidianus. The genetic length of LGs ranged from 17.61 cM (LG30) to 280.81 cM (LG1), with a mean inter-locus distance ranging from 0.11(LG3) to 0.48 cM (LG26). The total genetic map length was 2643.10 cM with an average inter-locus distance of 0.24 cM. Three sex-related loci and four sex-related markers were found on LG6 and LG23, respectively. Conclusion We constructed the first High-density genetic linkage map and identified three sex-related loci in the Chinese giant salamander. Current results are expected to be a useful tool for future genomic studies aiming at the marker-assisted breeding of the species.

Abstract Background: As is known to all, when we are doing QTL fine mapping, analyzing comparative genome, identifying candidate genes, making marker-assisted selection in aquaculture species, the high-density genetic linkage map is of great significance. Pelteobagrus vachelli is a very popular commercial species in Asia. However, some specific characters made it difficult to do traditional selective breeding based on phenotypes. For instance, potential problems include lacking in genomic resource which is in large scale and short of markers that is related tightly to growth, sex determination and hypoxia tolerance related traits. Results: By making use of 5059 ddRAD markers in P. vachelli，a high-resolution genetic linkage map was successfully constructed. The map’ length was 4047.01 cM by using an interval of 0.11 cm, which is an average marker standard. It is reflected that bu using comparative genome mapping, a large majority (83.2%) of markers with a one-to-one correspondence were observed between P. vachelli and P. fulvidraco. Based on the genetic map, 8 significant genome-wide QTLs for 4 weight, 1 body proportion, 2 sex determination, and 1 hypoxia tolerance related traits were detected on 4 LGs.

ABSTRACTMedaka (Oryzias spp.) is an important fish species in ecotoxicology and considered as a model species due to its biological features including small body size and short generation time. Since Japanese medaka Oryzias latipes is a freshwater species with access to an excellent genome resources, the marine medaka Oryzias melastigma is also applicable for marine ecotoxicology. In genome era, a high-density genetic linkage map is a very useful resource in genomic research, providing a means for comparative genomic analysis and verification of de novo genome assembly. In this study, we developed a high-density genetic linkage map for O. melastigma using restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq). The genetic map consisted of 24 linkage groups with 2,481 RAD-tag markers. The total map length was 1,784 cM with an average marker space of 0.72 cM. The genetic map was integrated with the reference-assisted chromosome assembly (RACA) of O. melastigma, which anchored 90.7% of the assembled sequence onto the linkage map. The values of complete Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) were similar to RACA assembly but N50 (23.74 Mb; total genome length 779.4 Mb; gap 5.29%) increased to 29.99 Mb (total genome length 778.7 Mb; gap 5.2%). Using MapQTL analysis with a single nucleotide polymorphism markers, we identified a major quantitative trait locus for sex traits on the Om10. The integration of the genetic map with the reference genome of marine medaka will serve as a good resource for studies in molecular toxicology, genomics, CRISPR/Cas9, and epigenetics.
