Development and evaluation of a high-throughput, low-cost genotyping platform based on oligonucleotide microarrays in rice

Background We report the development of a microarray platform for rapid and cost-effective genetic mapping, and its evaluation using rice as a model. In contrast to methods employing whole-genome tiling microarrays for genotyping, our method is based on low-cost spotted microarray production, focusing only on known polymorphic features.
