With AFLP® fingerprints the genetic diversity and pairwise similarity between individuals are quantified and visualized. The AFLP ® technology can be efficiently and directly applied to all species.
Its Value
A genetic diversity analysis:
clarifies the relationship between individuals;
can be used to design interspecific crosses or to maximize heterozygosity in hybrids;
can determine whether a variety is sufficiently genetically different to be of interest for the future breeding program;
produces data that can be stored and readily used again for future analyses;
results in a clear graphical representation of genetic similarities and differences.
