Single Nucleotide Polymorphism
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) refers to a single base change in a DNA sequence
SNP: Commonly biallelic
Two types(Based on presence in genome)
Synonymus
Non-synonymus
SNPs have largely replaced simple sequence repeats (SSRs)
Advantage of using SNPs
Low assay cost
High genomic abundance
Locus specificity
co-dominant inheritance
Simple documentation
Potential for high-throughput Analysis
Relatively low genotyping error rates
SNP genotyping platforms
BeadXpressTM,GoldenGateTM and Infinium from Illumina
GeneChipTM and GenFlexTM Tag array from Affimetrix
SNaPshotTM and TaqManTM from the Applied Biosystems
SNPWaveTM from KeyGene
iPLEX GoldTM Assay and Mass-RRAYTM from Sequonome
Variables to be considered
Throughput
Data turnaround
Time
Ease of use
Performance (sensitivity, reliability, reproducibility, and accuracy),
Flexibility (genotyping few samples with many snps or many samples with few snps),
Number of markers generated per run (uniplex versus multiplex assay capability)
Assay development requirements and genotyping cost per sample or data point.

Allele-specific oligo extension (primer)
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer
KASP Applications
Genotyping a wide range of species for various purposes.
KASP for Quality analysis, QTL mapping, MARS, and allele mining
Quality Control Analysis
QC analysis should be done for two reasons by genotyping the parents and F1s with the same subset of SNPs, in order to
confirm if F1s contains true-to-type alleles from their parents
check the genetic purity of the inbred parents.
F1s with true-to-type parental alleles for at least 90 % of the SNPs that were polymorphic between the parents should be advanced, while those with less than 10 % nonparental alleles should be discarded.
QTL Mapping
QTL mapping identifies a subset of markers that are significantly associated with one or more QTL influencing the expression of the trait of interest.
1) Select or develop a bi-parental mapping population.
2) Phenotype the population for a trait under greenhouse or field conditions.
3) Choose a molecular marking system – genotype parents of the mapping population and F1s with large numbers of markers, then select 200-400 markers exhibiting polymorphism between the parents.
4) Choose a genotyping approach, then generate molecular data for polymorphic markers
5) Identify the molecular markers associated with major QTL using statistical programs.
Large-scale allele mining
Allele mining is a promising approach to dissecting naturally occurring allelic variation at candidate genes controlling key agronomic traits.
KASP platform at CIMMYT has been used for the systematic mining of large germplasm collections for specific functional polymorphisms.

KBioscience Competitive Allele-Specific PCR
Homogenous, Fluorescence-based genotyping
technology, based on
Allele-specific oligo extension (primer)
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer
Determine both SNP and insertion/deletion
genotypes
Analysis can be carried out in 96-, 384- and 1536-
well plate formats
7. 1)Purified DNA sample (5-10ng)
2)Two allele-specific forward primers(Each primer contains a unique
unlabelled tail sequence at the 5' end)
3) A common reverse primer
4)Two 5’ Fluro ‐labelled oligos, one labelled with FAM(Fluorescein
Amidite) and another with HEX
(FERT- Fluorescent Resonance Energy Transfer)
5) Two oligos, with quenchers bound at the 3‘ ends.
Working of KASP
11. Bi-allelic discrimination is achieved
through the competitive binding of the two
allele-specific forward primers
If the genotype is homozygous, only one
of the two possible fluorescent signals will
be generated
If the genotype is heterozygous, a mixed
fluorescent signal will be generated
12. KlusterCaller Software
When dual emission genotyping data
from a fluorescent reader is imported
into the KlusterCaller software, a
traditional cluster graph for each assay is
automatically generated
For each KlusterCaller project, a project
tree will be created on the left hand side
of the window
Within a DNA master plate map,
individual wells can be identified as
DNA samples, no template controls
(NTC), or empty.
13. Genotyping data that is imported into a
KlusterCaller project will be displayed as a
Cartesian cluster plot
FAM values are plotted on the X axis and
HEX values are plotted on the Y axis,
Normalisation of results using ROX
(passive reference dye)
Blue data points are homozygous for the
allele reported by FAM, green data points
are heterozygous and red data points are
homozygous for the allele reported by
HEX
The black data points represent the no
template controls (NTC) and pink data
points are unconfirmed
