SNP discovery in black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) by population transcriptome resequencing
IN THIS POPULATION BASED TRANSCRIPTOME ANALYSIS WHOLE MRNA WAS EXTRACTED FROM DEVELOPING XYLEM OF 20 P. TRICHOCARPA NATURAL ACESSIONS AND SEQUENCED WITH ILLUMINA'S GA II ANALYZER AFTER CONVERSION TO CDNA AND PREPARATION OF PAIRED END LIBRARIES. THESE DATA WERE MAPPED TO THE REFERENCE GENOME OF P. TRICHOCARPA (version 2) AND USED TO DISCOVER SNPS IN GENES THAT ARE EXPRESSED DURING WOOD FORMATION.
