Development of diagnostic SNP markers for quality assurance and control in sweetpotato breeding programs

Dorcus Chepkesis Gemenet, Mercy N. Kitavi, Maria C. David, Dorcah Ndege, Reuben Ssali, Jolien Swanckaert, Godwill S. Makunde, George Craig Yencho, Wolfgang J. Grüneberg, Edward Ewing Carey, Robert O. M. Mwanga, Maria Andrade, Simon Heck, Hugo Campos

The paper develops a 36-SNP marker set for quality assurance and control in sweetpotato breeding programs, showing it can detect mislabeling errors similarly to a high-density SNP set.
