between BAT 93 (Mesoamerican) and JALO EEP558 (Andean) lines, was genotyped by Vera
Code® technology with Bead X press platform (Illumina) and selected to
compose the oligopool assay (OPA).
Three oligonucleotides were used for each of the variations of the same SNP and the
third specific-locus binding to the 3’ region of the DNA fragment containing the
target SNP, generating a unique allele-specific fragment. Subsequently, this fragment
was amplified using Taq DNA polymerase enzyme Titanium (Clontech®)
and complementary primers labeled with Cy3 and Cy5
fluorophores.
Genotyping was realized by Genome Studio software version 1.8.4 (Illumina, EUA) using
Call Rate values ranging from 0.80 to 0.90 and GenTrain ≥ 0.26 for SNP grouping.
Automated analyses were performed to cluster the SNP alleles of each line, based on
the signal intensity for Cy3 and Cy5 fluorophores,
resulting in three genotype classes, AA, BB, and AB. Groups were adjusted
individually and manually by determining the best clusters based on the parental
profile.
