Abstract

100 SNP and one Indel markers were developed for Khaya using a combination of restriction associated DNA sequencing and low coverage MiSeq genome sequencing. The marker set was successfully used to genotype a set of 1919 individuals, representing 5 Khaya species from 18 African countries, using MassARRAY®iPLEX™ genotyping.
