Abstract:
Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) is an emerging technology to rapidly call an abundance of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) using genome sequencing technology. Several different methodologies and approaches have recently been established, most of these relying on a specific preparation of data. Here we describe our GBS-pipeline, which uses high coverage reads from two parents and low coverage reads from their double haploid offspring to call SNPs on a large scale. The upside of this approach is the high resolution and scalability of the method.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
