Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) provides a robust, high throughput, cost-effective method to query thousands of sequence polymorphisms in a single assay. Despite the extensive use of this genotyping platform for numerous plant species, little is known regarding the sequence attributes and genome-wide distribution of DArT markers
Genomic selection (GS) or genome-wide selection (GWS) was a landmark proposal made 11 yr ago providing a genome-wide paradigm for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in plants and animals (Meuwissen et al., 2001; Goddard & Hayes, 2009)
A set of over 8000 Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers was tested for its utility in high-resolution population and phylogenetic studies across a range of Eucalyptus taxa. Small-scale population studies ofEucalyptus camaldulensis, Eucalyptus cladocalyx, Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus grandis, Eucalyptus nitens, Eucalyptus pilularis and Eucalyptus urophylla demonstrated the potential of genome-wide genotyping with DArT markers to differentiate species, to identify interspecific hybrids and to resolve biogeographic disjunctions within species.
A number of molecular marker technologies have allowed important advances in the understanding of the genetics and evolution of Eucalyptus, a genus that includes over 700 species, some of which are used worldwide in plantation forestry.

International Customers
Please do not ship samples after the 9th of December 2019.
To avoid any freight, shipping or quarantine delays, we strongly encourage you to ship samples to us when we re-open in the new year. We can not be responsible for shipments sent after the above dates, are delayed, and don’t reach us before we close on Christmas Eve.
