Plant Genomics
1. Construction of Molecular Maps and Synteny (Collinearity)
The detection and exploitation of naturally occurring DNA sequence polymprphisms represent one of the most significant development in molecular biology. Earlier in the techniques of development of molecular markers like RFLP, RAPD, AFLP, SSR, STS (sequence tagged site) and EST (expressed sequence tag) were described. The preparation of the molecular maps using these markers for animal genomes was described in the preparation of similar molecular maps in crop plants has been a priority area of research in plant biotechnology also.
