Dryland Crops Program QA/QC Pipeline
This online web app is developed with the intention of empowering researchers in the use of molecular markers for QA/QC molecular based tests. Perform downstream Bioinformatics analysis for genetic purity of elite inbred/parental lines and validation of crosses using F1 pedigree verification.
Featuring four integral components: Data Upload and Marker Summary, Parent Consensus, Parent QC Selection, and F1 Verification, the application is tailored to support researchers in formulating hypotheses or addressing scientific inquiries, even those with minimal bioinformatics background. The Parent QC Selection tool specifically enables the detailed examination of parent plant genetic consistency, crucial for the propagation of desired traits. Meanwhile, the F1 Verification function offers a critical assessment tool, ensuring the genetic lineage and purity of F1 hybrids, confirming that they are true progenies of their intended parentage.
Parent Consensus
Parent Consensus analysis aggregates genetic data from parent specimens to identify shared markers, ensuring breeding consistency. It confirms parental line homogeneity, enhancing offspring trait predictability.
Parent QC Selection
Parent Purity testing ensures genetic consistency in parent plants, vital for transmitting desired traits to offspring. Utilizing molecular markers, it underpins breeding predictability and the development of superior hybrids.
F1 Verification
F1 Pedigree Verification uses molecular markers to confirm the genetic lineage of F1 hybrids, ensuring offspring are true products of intended parental crosses. This precise verification process is pivotal in upholding the integrity of hybrid breeding programs.
