Abstract

MutRenSeq is a method to clone disease resistance (R) genes in plants. Tips and detailed experimental protocols for the pipeline, including the complexity reduction by R gene targeted enrichment sequencing, and computational analysis based on comparative genomics are provided in this chapter.
