I have came across papers where people have used GENE SCAN analysis to analyse AFLP marker datas. This feature is present in all ABI automated DNA sequencers. Can this approach be applied in case of other molecular markers?
Of course. Any device which is employing capillary electrophoresis can be used for fragment analysis of PCR-based markers.
Yes you can implement Gene Scan analysis for SRAP markers also provided your primers are labelled with suitable fluorophores.
