Dear colleagues,
We would like to discriminate between populations of a plant species at different geographical locations.
Yet, microsatellite markers (to distinguish them) are scarce.
Available genomic info is limited as well:
- The species only has a chloroplast genome sequenced.
- Only, there is a draft genome for its congeneric species.
As we are new to population genetics, Would you think we need to perform NGS whole genome sequencing - for the species at different geographical locations before we could achieve our goals?
or is there a smaller scale / easier way to do?
Please advise. Thanks :)
