The International Cotton SNP Consortium genotyping panel is a 70,000 marker array developed with SNPs from Gossypium hirsutum, G. barbadense, G. tomentosum and G. mustelinum. Small numbers of attempted bead types will be devoted to G. longicalyx and G. armourianum. The panel has varied uses, including genetic diversity analysis, genetic mapping, QTL analysis, candidate gene discovery, marker assisted selection, genomic selection and genome sequence assembly. Intraspecific SNPs were discovered and validated on germplasm lines that include Australian, US, Indian and Chinese varieties of Gossypium hirsutum. This panel is suitable as base content for over 20,000 Add-On markers for a customized Cotton genotyping array.
