Miscanspeed sequencing procurement
Researchers at IBERS, Aberystwyth University are undertaking a 3 year project to implement genomic selection (GS) in the perennial energy crop Miscanthus. The project is to establish genomic selection in 2 Miscanthus recurrent selection pools (M.sinensis and M.sacchariflorus). We need a rapid, high throughput genomic marker system to enable selections in time to make crosses within the same season in order to generate the subsequent generation.
