6th Publication on Genotyping by Sequencing work done by NxGenBio and second on Finger Millet. The current Article shows Genome wide Association Results with important agro-morphological traits, reported for the first time in this study which could be precisely utilised in finger millet genetic improvement after validation. Congratulations to Anil Kumar and his team for conceptualising the study and thanks to Gourav Kusum Sharma and rest of the team at NxGenBio for the GBS & GWAS data analysis.
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) is an important dry-land cereal in Asia and Africa because of its ability to provide assured harvest under extreme dry conditions and excellent nutritional properties. However, the genetic improvement of the crop is lacking in the absence of suitable genomic reso...
