Rad sequencing of the American mink (Neovison vison)
The present investigation reports the generation of genomic RAD tags from a total of 14 American minks, representing three different color strains. RAD tags enabled the discovery of a panel of novel candidate SNP markers, thereby providing the first next-generation sequencing data set for this important fur-farm species. The SNP resource was used to first select 1,256 assay-compatible SNPs and then design primers for 380 SNPs, from which a subset of 194 SNPs was selected to design a cost-effective SNP genotyping assay for American mink.
