Whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers are valuable genetic resources for the association and conservation studies. Genome-wide SNP development in many teleost species are still challenging because of the genome complexity and the cost of re-sequencing. GBS provided an efficient reduced representative method to squeeze cost for SNP detection; however, most of recent GBS applications were reported on plant organisms. In this work, we used an EcoRI-NlaIII based GBS protocol to teleost large yellow croaker, an important commercial fish in China and East-Asia, and reported the first whole-genome SNP development for the species. 69,845 high quality SNP markers that evenly distributed along genome were detected in at least 80% of 500 individuals. Nearly 95% randomly selected genotypes were successfully validated by SequenomMassARRAYassay. The association studies with the muscle EPA and DHA content discovered 39 significant SNP markers, contributing as high up to ~63% genetic variance that explained by all markers. Functional genes that involved in fat digestion and absorption pathway were identified, such as APOB, CRAT and OSBPL10. Notably, PPT2 Gene, previously identified in the association study of the plasma n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid level in human, was re-discovered in large yellow croaker. Our study verified that EcoRI-NlaIII based GBS could produce quality SNP markers in a cost-efficient manner in teleost genome. The developed SNP markers and the EPA/DHA associated SNP loci provided invaluable resources for the population structure, conservation genetics and genomic selection of large yellow croaker and other fish organisms.

Understanding genetic diversity, association studies, evolution analysis, quantitative trait loci, marker-assisted selection and genome-wide association in tropical crops are important for improving plant characteristics in order to increase food sustainability in tropical countries. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker is becoming the most popular molecular marker for those studies. By using SNP marker, genes associated with important traits can be identified efficiently compared to the other molecular markers. This review describes about how SNP can be discovered in the plant genomes and the application of SNP in plant breeding, especially in tropical crops such as rice, maize, peas, potato, tomato, cassava, taro, etc.   Keywords: food sustainability, plant breeding, SNP marker, tropical crops

Abstract The objective of the study was to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genetic markers in the equine TERT gene sequence, which were used to assess the degree of differentiation between Anglo-Arabian and Hucul horses. Polymorphisms were identified by sequencing 30 amplification products representing 18000 bp of TERT sequences. Twenty-seven SNP markers were investigated, which were at genetic equilibrium. Haplotypes and genotypes were determined, and usefulness of polymorphisms for genetic studies was assessed based on minor allele frequency (MAF). Alleles characteristic of both horse breeds were identified. SNP markers with MAF > 0.18 were considered suitable for genetic analyses concerning association studies and parentage testing. In total 26 haplotypes were identified, of which three were common to the investigated horse populations. Twelve haplotypes were found only in Anglo-Arabians and 11 in Hucul horses. Identified polymorphism of TERT gene might be useful in the search for genetic basis of aging in the Equus caballus species.

ABSTRACTClostridium botulinumis a genetically diverse Gram-positive bacterium producing extremely potent neurotoxins (botulinum neurotoxins A through G [BoNT/A-G]). The complete genome sequences of three strains harboring only the BoNT/A1 nucleotide sequence are publicly available. Although these strains contain a toxin cluster (HA+OrfX−) associated with hemagglutinin genes, little is known about the genomes of subtype A1 strains (termed HA−OrfX+) that lack hemagglutinin genes in the toxin gene cluster. We sequenced the genomes of three BoNT/A1-producingC. botulinumstrains: two strains with the HA+OrfX−cluster (69A and 32A) and one strain with the HA−OrfX+cluster (CDC297). Whole-genome phylogenic single-nucleotide-polymorphism (SNP) analysis of these strains along with other publicly availableC. botulinumgroup I strains revealed five distinct lineages. Strains 69A and 32A clustered with theC. botulinumtype A1 Hall group, and strain CDC297 clustered with theC. botulinumtype Ba4 strain 657. This study reports the use of whole-genome SNP sequence analysis for discrimination ofC. botulinumgroup I strains and demonstrates the utility of this analysis in quickly differentiatingC. botulinumstrains harboring identical toxin gene subtypes. This analysis further supports previous work showing that strains CDC297 and 657 likely evolved from a common ancestor and independently acquired separate BoNT/A1 toxin gene clusters at distinct genomic locations.

AbstractSoybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is an important legume crop with high commercial value widely cultivated globally. Thus, the genetic characterization of the existing soybean germplasm will provide useful information for enhanced conservation, improvement and future utilization. This study aimed to assess the extent of genetic diversity of soybean elite breeding lines and varieties developed by the soybean breeding programme of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria. The genetic diversity of 65 soybean genotypes was studied using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. The result revealed that 2446 alleles were detected, and the indicators for allelic richness and diversity had good differentiating power in assessing the diversity of the genotypes. The three complementary approaches used in the study grouped the germplasm into three major clusters based on genetic relatedness. The analysis of molecular variance revealed that 71% (P < 0.001) variation was due to among individual genotypes, while 11% (P < 0.001) was ascribed to differences among the three clusters, and the fixation index (FST) was 0.11 for the SNP loci, signifying moderate genetic differentiation among the genotypes. The identified private alleles indicate that the soybean germplasm contains diverse variability that is yet to be exploited. The SNP markers revealed high diversity in the studied germplasm and found to be efficient for assessing genetic diversity in the crop. These results provide valuable information that might be utilized for assessing the genetic variability of soybean and other legume crops germplasm by breeding programmes.
