Core collections have proven to be a valuable asset in aiding management as well as enhancing access to crop diversity present in huge germplasm collections held in genebanks. Initially these were generated based on passport and phenotypic data using several randomised hierarchical sampling methods to capture the largest amount of diversity in a limited number of accessions. With the availability of large-scale molecular marker data, especially SNPs generated by high-throughput techniques, there are several alternative optimization-based algorithms available that can leverage this information for core development. Here we illustrate the construction of core sets from such data using a few such software implementations such as PowerCore, Core Hunter 3, coreCollection and ShinyCore.

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%...
