GBS in guinea pigs from the Peruvian Andes. Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) discovery in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus L) from the Peruvian Andes

Guinea pigs are a major source of protein for Peruvian Andean families due to their adaptability to diverse climatic and breeding conditions. Despite their economic and cultural relevance, their genomic characterization has been scarcely addressed. Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), a high-throughput sequencing technology, has emerged as an affordable alternative to genotyping livestock and native animals
