The invention discloses a construction method and application of an SNP (
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
liquid phase chip for forest
tree breeding, and belongs to the technical field of forest tree
molecular breeding. The method comprises the steps that based on whole
genome re-
sequencing data of multiple
germplasm resources of a target species, a high-quality candidate background site
pool is obtained through
primary screening of a first set of screening parameters, probe design feasibility and
genome space distribution optimization are conducted on the high-quality candidate background site
pool, and a uniformly-distributed and probe-feasible background site set is formed; secondly, based on a
whole genome association analysis result, screening out a functional site set directly associated with breeding traits; and finally, combining the two types of site sets, and carrying out probe design and synthesis to prepare the
liquid phase chip. The invention also provides the
chip constructed by the method and application of the chip in forest
genome selective breeding. According to the invention, the design limitation of a traditional chip is broken through, a special chip with
high density and high breeding value can be systematically constructed, and the breeding efficiency is remarkably improved.
