Want to learn more about mapping and QTL analysis? If so, visit the Plant Breeding and Genomics Mapping and QTL Analysis Curriculum page for links to learning modules, tutorials, and case studies.

To learn even more, join Dave Douches and Joe Coombs from Michigan State University for a webinar on Thursday April 5th from 1-2pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Dave and Joe will discuss the generation of a tetraploid map for potato using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified in the Solanaceae Coordinated Agricultural Project (SolCAP). They will demonstrate high-throughput SNP calling in a tetraploid and introduce some of the issues inherent in tetraploid genetics and mapping.

To register for the webinar, go to http://www.extension.org/pages/63187 or http://www.extension.org/pages/60426 and click on the webinar title to follow the link to the registration page. Advanced registration for the live webinars is required. After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

All webinars are recorded and available for later viewing at www.eXtension.org/plant_breeding_genomics and www.youtube.com/plantbreedgenomics.
