Research
How can high-throughput SNP genotyping be applied to forest tree breeding programs? The objective of this research is to explore the parameters that are likely to be important for application of SNP technologies to breeding programs, and as a result to determine an analytical method which is well-suited to the population sizes and mating designs.
