Despite substantial reductions in the cost of sequencing over the last decade, genetic panels remain relevant due to their cost-effectiveness and flexibility across a variety of sample types. In particular, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels are increasingly favoured for conservation applications. SNP panels are often used because of their adaptability, effectiveness with low-quality samples, and cost-efficiency for population monitoring and forensics. However, the selection of diagnostic SNPs for population assignment and individual identification can be challenging. The consequences of poor SNP selection are under-powered panels, inaccurate results, and monetary loss. Here, we develop a novel and user-friendly SNP selection pipeline (mPCRselect) that can be used to select SNPs for population assignment and/or individual identification. mPCRselect allows any researcher, who has sufficient SNP-level data, to design a successful and cost-effective SNP panel for a diploid species of conservation concern.

Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, poses a significant threat to blueberries, necessitating a deeper understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying resistance to develop efficient breeding strategies. Here, we conducted a genome-wide association study on 355 advanced selections of southern highbush blueberry from the University of Florida Blueberry Breeding and Genomics Program. Visual scores and image analyses were used for assessing disease severity.

Objective: This study investigates the association between alobar holoprosencephaly (HPE) and de novo germline microdeletions in the Xq25 region. To develop a Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M) based workflow enabling high-resolution preimplantation detection of sub-Mb microdeletions, overcoming the >1 Mb resolution limit of conventional whole genome amplification(WGA) copy number variation(CNV) sequencing to identify causative Xq25 variants and prevent pathogenic microdeletion transmission.
Methods: This study presents a clinical case involving a couple with an adverse obstetric history accompanied by two occurrences of HPE.

Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) are essential nutrients for plant health. Deficiencies in N, P, or S in plants lead to lower seed production and seed quality in grain crops, including soybean seed. Soybean seed is a source of protein, oil, essential amino acids, and minerals.

Introduction: (commonly known as the Aral barbel) represents a commercially valuable fish species in China, contributing significantly to regional aquaculture economies. High-density genetic linkage mapping coupled with quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis has emerged as a powerful approach for elucidating the genetic mechanism of complex traits in aquatic species.
Method: The present study aimed to construct a SNP-based high-density linkage map using male parent, female parent, and 165 F full-sib progenies through whole-genome resequencing strategy, and subsequently perform comprehensive QTL mapping of six economically important growth-related traits, in order to identify candidate genes underlying growth regulation in .
