TL;DR: The developed array and cluster identification algorithms provide an opportunity to infer detailed haplotype structure in polyploid wheat and will serve as an invaluable resource for diversity studies and investigating the genetic basis of trait variation in wheat.

TL;DR: A high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Illumina Infinium array, containing 52,157 markers, was developed for the allotetraploid Brassica napus, a valuable tool for genetic fine mapping and genome-wide association studies in B. napus and its progenitor genomes.

TL;DR: The produced intraspecific genetic map is the first saturated map that associates into 26 linkage groups corresponding to the number of cotton chromosomes for a cross between two G. hirsutum lines.

TL;DR: Some potential applications of large genotyping arrays including high-density genetic mapping, characterization (fingerprinting) of genetic material and breeding-related aspects such as association studies and genomic selection are outlined.

TL;DR: Through resequencing of inbred lines, a valuable haplotype map (HapMap) for the pepper genome based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) is completed and the PepperSNP16K array can be used worldwide to share findings and analyze QTLs for important traits leading to continued improvement of pepper for consumers.
