Functional Genomics-Assisted Development of Gene Markers for Economically Important Traits in Rubber Production Varietal Improvement
Functional genomics involves studies on how genes and intergenic regions of the genome contribute to different biological processes. This is translated to the development of gene-associated molecular markers for utility in rubber production and breeding. Through functional genomics and bioinformatics, gene markers were generated using two approaches: a) genome filtering using methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes and …
