Local colleagues of Floragenex co-founder Dr. Eric Johnson recently published a paper in PLoS Genetics demonstrating the application of RAD technology to population genetics and evolutionary biology questions.

While not a plant sciences publication, the type of project completed by this group has been done by Floragenex for researchers working in a variety of plant species. The RAD system has proven here and in other species that whole genome genotyping via sequencing is a very feasible approach to take with the right genetics and proper planning.

More information can be found on this particular publication at the animal and biomedical focused blog at Biota Sciences, or at Genome Web.
