This study analysed 82 published SSR markers for finger millet across 10 diverse accessions to compile an informative set for genetic characterisation. Extensive optimization compared single samples with bulked leaf or bulked DNA samples for capturing within accession genetic diversity. The markers were evaluated to determine (1) how efficiently they amplified target loci during high-throughput genotyping with a generic PCR protocol, (2) ease of scoring PCR products and (3) polymorphism and ability to discern genetic diversity within the tested finger millet germplasm. date: 2015-03 date_type: published publication: Electronic Journal of Biotechnology volume: 18 number: 2 publisher: Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso pagerange: 77-82 id_number: 10.1016/j.ejbt.2014.12.001 refereed: TRUE issn: 0717-3458 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ejbt.2014.12.001 related_url_url: https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Compilation+of+an+informative+microsatellite+set+for+genetic+characterisation+of+East+African+finger+millet+Eleusine+coracana&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=& related_url_type: pub funders: Open Access funded by Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso citation: De Villiers, S M and Michael, V N and Manyasa, E O and Saiyiorri, A N and Deshpande, S P (2015) Compilation of an informative microsatellite set for genetic characterisation of East African finger millet (Eleusine coracana).
