Abstract
One of the fastest growing areas of biotechnology research today is marker-assisted breeding of crops. As a prerequisite to marker assisted breeding, genetic linkage maps are currently being developed for many species. For many purposes gene-based markers are the marker type of choice. The biggest problem in genetic linkage mapping using gene-based markers is the identification of polymorphisms between the parents of the population. To improve the efficiency of marker generation, we have developed a simple, and reasonable-cost method of polymorphism detection termed dideoxy polymorphism scanning. Since most of the time required to develop a gene-based linkage map is spent in identification of useful polymorphisms, this method will significantly shorten the time required for map generation and therefore reduce the overall cost.
