Publication number: 20250061967Abstract: This invention relates to the field of genetic molecular breeding, specifically to a pig 10K liquid-phase chip based on multiple single nucleotide-polymorphism and its application. The present invention, while adhering to the basic principles of liquid phase chip design, adds new markers to existing chips and optimizes probes using multiple single nucleotide-polymorphism technology. This results in the generation of more SNP markers with high genotyping quality and moderate linkage disequilibrium with target SNP loci within the probe region, thereby increasing the effective marker count of the chip. The mSNP liquid phase chip of the present invention increases the number of detectable SNPs to 1.5-2 times the number of target SNP markers, addressing the issue of existing chips that only contain target SNPs and cannot provide mSNP markers, without increasing the cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2024Publication date: February 20, 2025Applicant: CHINA AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Xiangdong DING, Huatao LIU, Shujuan LI, Zipeng ZHANG, Hehe DU, Yuru SHAO, Chuduan WANG

Publication number: 20250061964Abstract: This invention relates to the field of genetic molecular breeding, specifically to a pig 50K liquid-phase chip based on multiple single nucleotide-polymorphism and its application. The probe design of the chip in this invention takes into account the distribution of captured SNP loci across the genome, the polymorphism of the loci, the quality of mSNP markers, and other issues, effectively avoiding problems such as uneven marker density and poor polymorphism. It also considers the quality of mSNP markers and the issue of linkage disequilibrium among mSNP markers. While adhering to the basic principles of liquid-phase chip design, genomic regions with moderate linkage disequilibrium between markers were selected, generating more SNP markers with high genotyping quality and moderate linkage disequilibrium within the probe region with the target loci. The mSNP liquid-phase chip of this invention expands the detectable number of SNPs to 1.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2024Publication date: February 20, 2025Applicant: CHINA AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Xiangdong DING, Huatao LIU, Hehe DU, Zipeng ZHANG, Qin ZHANG, Chuduan WANG
