Avocado genetic analysis of Colombia using Illumina sequencing

A total of 144 accessions from the Colombian national germplasm bank (i.e., 129 natives and 15 commercial trees) and 240 materials from plantations at the Colombian Northwest Andes (i.e., 73 native trees and 167 rootstocks of grafted trees from 8 plantations) were genotyped using a genotyping strategy based on sequencing to discover SNP markers to analyze at the genetic level this germplasm.
