Introduction of QTL-Seq Analysis
Quantitative trait locus (QTL)-Seq is a method that combines bulked segregant analysis (BSA) and high-throughput whole-genome re-sequencing to detect the major locus of a certain quantitative trait in a segregating population.
QTL-Seq selects parents that show a contrasting phenotype on a trait of interest to build a segregating population—either F2 recombinant inbred lines, double haploid, or backcross populations—and then selects two groups of individual plants, each showing segregation of the trait to one of the parents, as two mixed pools to perform genotype analysis. The genomic position of the polymorphic molecular markers that shows significant segregation of genotypes is the region harboring the major QTL. Currently, BSA has been updated to QTL-Seq through the replacement of traditional markers such as RAPD (random amplification polymorphic DNA) or RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) to SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) markers, accompanied by high-throughput re-sequencing and SNP-index analysis. QTL-Seq has been widely and successfully used in many crop populations.

Our Advantages
Only mixed analysis of selected individuals in the population is necessary for genotyping according to traits, which can greatly reduce the workload and cost of research.
QTL-Seq shows much higher efficiency than the traditional QTL mapping, which is typically time-consuming and involves labor-intensive genotyping and maintenance of the mapping populations.
