SummaryGlobally, wheat is the most widely grown crop and one of the three most important crops for
human and livestock feed. However, the complex nature of the wheat genome has, until
recently, resulted in a lack of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based molecular markers of
practical use to wheat breeders. Recently, large numbers of SNP-based wheat markers have been
made available via the use of next-generation sequencing combined with a variety of genotyping
platforms. However, many of these markers and platforms have difficulty distinguishing between
heterozygote and homozygote individuals and are therefore of limited use to wheat breeders
carrying out commercial-scale breeding programmes. To identify exome-based co-dominant
SNP-based assays, which are capable of distinguishing between heterozygotes and homozyg-
otes, we have used targeted re-sequencing of the wheat exome to generate large amounts of
genomic sequences from eight varieties. Using a bioinformatics approach, these sequences have
been used to identify 95 266 putative single nucleotide polymorphisms, of which 10 251 were
classified as being putatively co-dominant. Validation of a subset of these putative co-dominant
markers confirmed that 96% were true polymorphisms and 65% were co-dominant SNP assays.
The new co-dominant markers described here are capable of genotypic classification of a
segregating locus in polyploid wheat and can be used on a variety of genotyping platforms; as
such, they represent a powerful tool for wheat breeders. These markers and related information
have been made publically available on an interactive web-based database to facilitate their use
on genotyping programmes worldwide.
Introduction
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is an allohexaploid (AABBDD)
crop derived from the hybridisation of the diploid genome of
Aegilops tauschii (DD) with the AABB tetraploid genome of
Triticum turgidum (Dubcovsky and Dvorak, 2007). These hybridi-
sation events, the domestication process and the inbreeding
nature of wheat have together resulted in a reduced level of
genetic diversity between cultivated wheat varieties, when
compared with their wild ancestors (Haudry et al., 2007). Wheat
breeders and geneticists require tools to exploit the genetic
diversity available within germplasm collections and carry out
breeding programmes, which utilise this diversity to maximum
effect. Molecular markers enable breeders and geneticists to carry
out this process; however, in allohexaploid wheat, the develop-
ment of molecular markers has, until recently, been problematic
due to the presence of homoeologous and paralogous copies of
the various genes (Kaur et al., 2012). Recent advances in
genotyping platforms have built upon the wealth of data
provided by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies to
enable, for the first time, the large-scale identification, validation
and application of molecular markers in wheat breeding pro-
grammes (Berkman et al., 2012; Paux et al., 2011). These
developments have come at a critical time, where the need for
a substantial increase in yields to feed a growing global
population has coincided with reduced genetic gains and
increasing climatic and environmental pressures (Dixon et al.,
2009; Reynolds et al., 2009).
Many of the recently developed genotyping platforms rely on
the identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs),
which are polymorphic between different wheat varieties (Paux
et al., 2011). To overcome the various bottlenecks and problems
associated with SNP generation, characterisation and most
importantly validation in wheat, we and others have previously
used NGS-based technology to identify and map relatively large
numbers of gene-based SNP loci (Allen et al., 2011; Akhunov
et al., 2009; Chao et al., 2010). However, these studies used
cDNA and EST sequences and were therefore subject to variation

in expression of homoeologous and paralogous genes. In
hexaploid wheat, this situation is further aggravated as homo-
eologous and paralogous genes are often silenced or can show
differential spatial and/or temporal expressions (Adams and
Wendel, 2005; Akhunova et al., 2010; Liu et al., 2009). Genomic
DNA is likely to be a more reliable source of putative SNPs;
however, the size of the wheat genome means that sequencing
the whole genome of multiple varieties to the depths required for
successful SNP identification is impractical, time consuming and
costly (Biesecker et al., 2011). To overcome these resource-
associated problems, we have used a recently developed
sequence capture targeted resequencing approach to characte-
rise a significant proportion of the wheat exome (Winfield et al.,
2012). By using a reference collection of the wheat exome as the
basis of our SNP collection, we have been able to sequence and
compare equivalent regions of the wheat genome from several
wheat varieties.
To be fully utilised in breeding programmes, putative SNPs
need to be identified and converted to working assays on a high-
throughput genotyping platform. Recently, several technologies
have revolutionised wheat genotyping: Illumina’s GoldenGate/
Infinium technologies and KBioscience’s KASPar (Akhunov et al.,
2009; Allen et al., 2011). Development of these platforms has
encouraged the widespread uptake of SNP-based genotyping in
wheat; however, both technologies have two significant draw-
backs. Firstly, they require the identification and characterisation
of varietal SNPs among an excess of homoeologous and
paralogous SNPs. Secondly, as both platforms were developed
for diploid species, they have problems with the scoring of varietal
SNPs in polyploid heterozygotes, for instance, F2 and backcross
populations. The detection of heterozygous SNPs in allohexaploid
wheat is dependent on the ability of the system to accurately
discriminate between different call ratios. For ‘dominant’ SNP
assays, which amplify all three homoeologous copies, these
systems are often incapable of distinguishing homozygote (having
a call ratio of 4 : 2) and heterozygote lines (having a call ratio of
5 : 1) (Allen et al., 2011; Paux et al., 2011). In contrast, both
genotyping platforms work well when the SNP is amplified from
just a single homoeologous/paralogous copy. Such SNP assays are
usually referred to as co-dominant SNP assays, that is, they are
capable of differentiating between homozygotes (having a call
ratio of 2 : 0) and heterozygotes (having a call ratio of 1 : 1). As
such, co-dominant SNP assays are preferred markers compared
with dominant SNP assays. Unfortunately, co-dominant SNP
assays usually make up < 20% of the SNP assays generated by
conventional means (Allen et al., 2011). However, careful primer
design can lead to the successful amplification of just one
homoeolog/paralog, but this process is time consuming as the
variable nature of each set of sequences demands a manual
approach to primer design. To overcome this bottleneck, we have
developed a SNP identification pipeline which incorporates a
novel bioinformatics procedure designed to identify putative
co-dominant SNP assays.
The developments described here have led to both the
generation of an extensive set of putative varietal SNPs from
genomic DNA and within this data set the identification of a
subset of putative co-dominant SNPs. The use of an exome-based
SNP discovery strategy has targeted gene discovery to genic
regions. Validation of a subset of these putative co-dominant SNP
assays and a comparison with dominant SNP markers has
provided useful insights into their design and characteristics.
Finally, the work described here has resulted in a significant
increase in the number of gene-derived co-dominant SNP assays,
which will be of considerable interest to wheat researchers, and in
particular, the breeding community.
Results
SNP discovery
In this study, the exome of the UK varieties Alchemy, Avalon,
Cadenza, Hereward, Rialto, Robigus, Savannah and Xi19 was
captured using the NimbleGen capture array (NimbleGen array
reference 100819_Wheat_Hall_cap_HX1) described in Winfield
et al. (2012). This generated between 9.8 and 48.7 million reads
on the Illumina GAIIx platform. Sequence data were filtered as
described in the experimental procedures. Varietal SNPs were
called in the filtered data where read coverage was sufficiently
high that there was less than a 0.1% chance of an observed allelic
difference between two varieties being due to failure to sample
an allele. For example, if the varieties Avalon and Cadenza have
observed calls of A(20) and A(10)G(10), respectively, we would
expect half of the alleles in Avalon (10 calls) to be G under the null
hypothesis that there is no real genotypic difference. Randomi-
sation tests showed that for the data set as a whole, using a
minimum expected count of 10 for null bases resulted in a false
discovery rate of < 1%. Putative co-dominant SNP markers were
identified as the subset of SNPs meeting the above criteria, but
where every variety had only a single allele called. The SNP
discovery pipeline identified 95 266 putative varietal SNPs in
26 551 distinct reference sequences (Winfield et al., 2012).
Examination of these SNPs suggested that as in our previous
work, only 10%–20% were co-dominant (Table 1; Allen et al.,
2011), with 10 251 putative co-dominant SNP markers identified
within 5308 contigs.
Co-dominant SNP validation
As co-dominant SNP assays are of significant interest to the wheat
community, it is important that such assays have a level of
polymorphism that is not significantly different to that previously
shown for dominant SNP assays. In addition, it is important that
the distribution of the co-dominant SNP markers across the three
homoeologous genomes do not show a bias beyond those shown
previously for mapped dominant SNP markers (Allen et al., 2011).
To assess both of these features, we selected a subset of 1337
putative co-dominant SNP assays for validation and further
analysis. While the selection process used to identify this subset
was essentially random, to aid further investigation, we selected
those SNPs that appeared, via the sequence analysis, to be
polymorphic between the parents of the UK mapping populations
Avalon 9 Cadenza and Savannah 9 Rialto. Of the 1337 SNPs
selected, we were able to design working KASPar assays for 1190
SNPs (89%; Data S1).
Genotyping of a panel of 47 wheat varieties using the 1190
KASPar probes resulted in 1138 probes (96%) generating data
that could be scored consistently and were polymorphic in at least
one of the varieties screened (Data S2). Examination of the
genotypic data revealed three types of varietal SNP markers:
co-dominant SNP markers (where homozygous scores were
detected for all hexaploid varieties, for instance, only scores of
A:A or T:T were obtained, Figure 1a); partially co-dominant SNP
markers (where heterozygous and homozygous scores were
detected in hexaploid varieties, that is, A:A, T:T and the mixed A:
T, Figure 1b); and dominant SNP markers (where a single
homozygous and heterozygous score was detected in hexaploid

varieties, that is, A:A and mixed A:T only, Figure 1c). Of the 1138
validated probes, 734 (65%) were co-dominant, 194 (17%) were
partially co-dominant and 210 (18%) were dominant. Dominant
and co-dominant markers were used to screen an F4 population
known to contain homozygote and heterozygote individuals.
Screening this population with co-dominant SNP assays resulted
in three separate clusters for the various homozygote and
heterozygote individuals (Figure 1d). However, screening the
same population with dominant SNP assays produced a more
scattered cluster where homozygous and heterozygous loci were
indistinguishable (Figure 1e). Screening the F4 population with
partially co-dominant SNPs yielded the same results as described
for both dominant and co-dominant SNP assays depending on
the genotypes of the population parents (data not shown).
The SNP markers developed through the NimbleGen exome
capture were compared with the existing database of SNP
markers developed from EST and normalised cDNA sequences
using the experimental procedures described in Allen et al., 2011;
(Table 2; Data S3). The number of co-dominant SNP assays
generated was significantly higher, and dominant SNPs signifi-
cantly lower, when compared with the previous data set of
validated EST/cDNA-derived SNPs (v2 = 131.98, P < 0.001).
Comparison of the two data sets showed that the numbers of
partially co-dominant SNP assays were not significantly different
between the two data sets (v2 = 3.87, P = 0.14). In addition, the
polymorphism information content (PIC) scores and minor allele
frequencies (MAF) were similar between the two data sets; they
were highest for the partially co-dominant SNP assays and lowest
for the dominant SNP assays.
Characterisation of the different SNP types
To characterise the different SNP marker types identified in
this study, and in particular, the co-dominant and partially
co-dominant SNP assays, several analyses were performed using
the contig sequences containing the SNPs. The average sizes of
contigs containing different SNP types were similar (co-dominant,
692 bp; dominant, 690 bp; partially co-dominant, 666 bp). We
hypothesised that co-dominant SNP assays were likely to be
derived from 5′ or 3′ untranslated regions (UTRs) of genic
sequences. In the absence of functional coding constraints, such
regions are more likely to have diverged between homoeologs
and thus represent effectively unique regions of sequence. To
address this hypothesis, SNP-containing contig sequences were
used to screen, via BLASTX (Altschul et al., 1990), the non-
redundant (nr) protein database. If a match was found (E-value
1e-5), a further analysis was then performed to identify whether
the SNP was located inside or outside the coding region. This
analysis showed that a higher proportion of the contig sequences
used to develop co-dominant SNP assays returned no hit when
subjected to a BLASTX analysis against the nr database, compared
with dominant SNP assay sequences. Where a hit was identified,
a higher proportion of the co-dominant SNPs were found to lie
outside the coding region, compared with dominant SNPs. The
number of co-dominant SNPs located within known coding

co-dominant SNP assay results in a separate
cluster for heterozygote individuals (d). Screening
the same population with a dominant SNP assay
produces a more scattered cluster where
homozygote and heterozygote individuals are
indistinguishable.

Wheat exome-based co-dominant SNPs 3
regions was significantly lower than would be expected to occur
by chance (v2 = 7.56, P = 0.02). Partially co-dominant SNPs were
midway between dominant and co-dominant SNPs (Figure 2a).
Across all SNP marker types, the average length of contigs
returning no hit was lower (approximately 520 bp) than the
average length of contigs returning BLASTX hits (approximately
770 bp), suggesting that contig length affected the likelihood of
obtaining a BLASTX match. To check whether the contigs
returning no hit represent genes that had not yet been
annotated, the same contig sequences were subjected to a
BLASTN analysis (E-value 1e-3) against the NCBI nr nucleotide
database; 86% of the contigs returning no hit from the BLASTX
analysis also had no match in the BLASTN nr database.
We further hypothesised that some co-dominant SNP assaysmay
have been derived from single-copy regions of the wheat genome.
Such regions may have either been unique to only one progenitor
genome or alternatively one or more copies have been lost since
polyploidisation. To address this second hypothesis, the same sets
of sequences were screened, using BLASTN, against the 5 9
Chinese Spring genomic raw reads at http://www.cerealsdb.uk.
net/. BLAST hit coverage was calculated for every nucleotide
position in the query sequence and averaged over the whole
sequence to derive a mean contig coverage. All three SNP types
peak in coverage at 15 9 , indicative of three gene copies each at
5 9 coverage; however, the co-dominant SNPs and to a lesser
extent the partially co-dominant SNPs had a secondary peak of
coverage at fivefold coverage, indicative of single-copy number
sequences. This peak is absent from the dominant SNPs (Figure 2b).
These analyses were combined by comparing the coverage of
sequences containing co-dominant SNPs that had different
BLASTX results. The sequences with 5 9 coverage are most
highly represented by those returning a ‘no hit’ from BLASTX
analysis (Figure 2c). When contig length was plotted against
median coverage for co-dominant SNPs, no relationship was
observed (r = �0.0009). A similar result (r = �0.0009) was
obtained by performing the same analysis using only sequences
returning no BLASTX hit, suggesting that the contig length does
not affect the number of hits returned from the BLASTN analysis
or the estimated level of coverage.
Map location of dominant, partially co-dominant andco-dominant SNP assays
The map positions of the different SNP marker types were
investigated to determine whether any bias in genetic location
was introduced by using co-dominant SNP assays in two doubled-
haploid mapping populations developed from UK cultivars
Avalon 9 Cadenza (A 9 C) and Savannah 9 Rialto (S 9 R). Of
the 3214 SNP markers developed to date (Table 2), 2109 were
identified as polymorphic between Avalon and Cadenza (via
screening of the 47 varieties above), of which 1807 were placed
on the Avalon 9 Cadenza map. These consisted of 1152 EST/
cDNA-derived markers and 655 NimbleGen-derived markers. Of

and Cadenza, 562 were identified as polymorphic between
Savannah and Rialto and 541 of these markers were placed on
the Savannah 9 Rialto map. These consisted of 187 EST/cDNA-
derived markers and 375 NimbleGen-derived markers. To enable
comparisons between the maps, 231 evenly spaced loci from
the Avalon 9 Cadenza map were also included on the
Savannah 9 Rialto map (Figure 3; Data S3). For the Ava-
lon 9 Cadenza map, previously mapped SSR markers were used
to help assign linkage groups to chromosomes (http://www.wgin.
org.uk/resources/MappingPopulation/TAmapping.php; Data S4).
In total, 2350 (73%) of the validated SNP markers were mapped;
these comprised of 969 dominant SNP loci, 444 partially
co-dominant loci and 937 co-dominant SNP loci. In the Ava-
lon 9 Cadenza map, the linkage groups ranged from 54.5 to
239.0 centiMorgans (cM) in size, with 8–214 SNP markers. The
total map length was 2434.4 cM with an average spacing of
1.3 cM between SNP loci. In the Savannah 9 Rialto map, linkage
groups ranged from 1.3 to 221.1 cM, with 2–98 SNP markers.
The total Savannah 9 Rialto map length was 2861.8 cM with an
average spacing of 3.8 cM between SNP loci (Table 3). The two
linkage maps aligned well with each other, showing similar
arrangements of common loci within linkage groups.
In both populations, over 97.5% of the SNP markers could be
mapped unequivocally to a linkage group and assigned to a
unique chromosome position. The lack of markers on the short
arm of chromosome 1B in the Savannah 9 Rialto map can be
attributed to the presence of the same 1BL.1RS rye translocation
in both Savannah and Rialto, where the short arm of rye
chromosome 1B has replaced the short arm of wheat chromo-
some 1B (Figure 3). Clustering of SNP markers was observed in
both linkage maps, with 55% of A 9 C markers and 61% of
S 9 R markers being completely linked (0 cM distance between
them). Of the remaining markers, 81% of A 9 C markers are
separated by < 5 cM and 90% are within 10 cM of the next
marker. For the S 9 R map, these figures are lower (55%markers
separated by < 5 cM and 74% within 10 cM), probably due to a
smaller number of markers on the map. Similar levels of clustering
were observed for the different SNP marker types; 60% of A 9 C
co-dominant markers and 52% of dominant markers were
completely linked. Of the remaining co-dominant markers, 77%
of markers are within 5 cM of each other and 88% are within a
10 cM interval. The corresponding proportions for dominant
markers are similar (84% within 5 cM and 92% within 10 cM).
The different SNP types showed similar patterns of distribution
between the A, B and D linkage groups in both the Ava-
lon 9 Cadenza and Savannah 9 Rialto maps, with the only
difference of a higher proportion of the partially co-dominant
markers mapped to the D genome (Figure 4a). Similarly, although
clustering of SNP markers was observed within the linkage
groups, there was no obvious bias of different marker types
(Figure 3).
Summary statistics of mapped loci
The summary statistics of mapped SNP markers were compared
to assess whether different marker types had varying levels of
polymorphism in the 47 varieties screened and to ensure that the
co-dominant SNP markers developed in this study would be
useful across a wide range of material. The mean MAF and levels
of genetic diversity of SNP markers were compared between the
different marker types and assigned genomes of the
Avalon 9 Cadenza and Savannah 9 Rialto maps (Table 4). These
summary statistics were very similar for both maps; however,
differences within the maps were observed. Partially co-dominant
SNP assays had the highest average MAF and PIC scores, and
dominant SNP assays had the lowest. Loci from the separate
homoeologous genomes had consistent MAF and PIC measure-
ments, although the A and D genome measurements were
slightly higher than the B genome (Table 4). The different classes
of SNP loci showed differences in the distribution of MAF scores.
Co-dominant and partially co-dominant loci showed an increased
proportion of medium and high frequency alleles compared with
dominant loci (Figure 5a). Similarly, D genome loci showed a
trend to have higher MAF compared with A and B genome loci
(Figure 5b). The distribution of PIC scores showed that co-
dominant and partially co-dominant loci types had a higher
proportion of high PIC scores than dominant SNP assays
(Figure 5c). A and B genome loci had a similar distribution of
PIC scores, while D genome loci had a comparatively higher
proportion of high PIC scores (Figure 5d).
Discussion
In this study, we present a SNP discovery pipeline capable of
identifying large numbers of putative SNPs from genomic
sequence obtained by targeted exome capture. This proved an
efficient method to generate equivalent sequences from multiple
varieties from which we were able to generate over 90 000
putative SNPs between eight elite UK cultivars. Given our results,
this same approach is likely to prove highly effective at
identifying SNPs across a wide range of cultivars, and in a
wider range of germplasms, such as landraces, progenitors and
alien species. By cataloguing SNPs using a reference collection of
sequences derived from just the wheat exome, we provide a
unique context for each SNP, thereby both reducing the chance
of duplications within the SNP data set and allowing direct
comparisons between different wheat lines. A key advantage to
the SNP collection described here compared with other SNP
markers such as insertion site–based polymorphisms (ISBPs; Paux
et al., 2010) is that by the nature of the targeted sequencing,
all the SNPs developed are associated with genes, and as
such, are likely to prove useful in gene-based marker-assisted
breeding.
When examined further, the SNP database was shown to
contain 10 251 putative co-dominant SNPs. Validation of over
10% of the co-dominant SNP assays on the KASPar genotyping
platform resulted in a significantly improved validation rate
compared with our previous study with 96% being polymorphic
between the varieties screened compared with 67% as described
in Allen et al. (2011). This increased validation rate is probably
due to the use of genomic DNA, as opposed to transcriptome-
derived data, in the SNP discovery phase where the problems of
expression differences and presence of intron–exon splice sites
hindered effective SNP identification and primer design (Trick
et al., 2012). Of the subset of putative co-dominant SNP
assays, over 80% were validated as co-dominant or partially
co-dominant, compared with < 20% in previous studies where
random SNPs were validated (Allen et al., 2011). The occurrence
of putative co-dominant SNP assays, which were dominant when
validated, is likely to be due to the presence of homeologous
sequences that were not represented in the sequence data but
were amplified by the KASPar primers. This may be due to a
feature of individual sequences that prevent them from mapping
on to the assembly or a consequence of reduced sequence
coverage.

Figure 3 Genetic linkage maps of wheat derived from 190 Avalon 9 Cadenza doubled-haploid lines and 95 Savannah 9 Rialto doubled-haploid
lines. Each linkage group was assigned to a chromosome indicated above the linkage group, and chromosomes are arranged with the short arm
above the long arm. SNP loci mapped in this study are designated XBS and are coloured according to the SNP type: Dominant SNP loci are shown in
black, co-dominant SNP loci are shown in red and partially co-dominant SNP loci are shown in blue. Common markers between the Avalon 9 Cadenza
and Savannah 9 Rialto maps are underlined. Map distances, calculated using the Kosambi mapping function, are shown in centiMorgans (cM) on the
ruler to the left of linkage groups.

Alexandra M. Allen et al.12
Characterisation of the validated co-dominant SNP assays
showed that their PIC scores and MAF were on average higher
than dominant SNP assays, suggesting they are highly useful
genetic markers for use on a range of materials. Analyses using
the contig sequences containing the different SNP types revealed
that co-dominant SNP assays were more likely to be located in
contigs returning no BLAST hit to either protein or nucleotide
databases, or outside coding regions in those contigs returning a
BLASTX hit. Our analysis is consistent with the hypothesis that a
proportion of the contigs used to develop co-dominant SNP
assays represent single-copy genes. These contigs most likely
represent genes that were lost before or during the domestication
process as they are found as single copies in both landraces, such
as Chinese Spring, and modern varieties. For those SNP contigs
with 15 9 Chinese Spring genomic coverage, it is quite possible
that while these are represented as three homoeologs in Chinese
Spring, they have undergone gene loss down to single copy in the
UK germplasm we have studied. Intracultivar heterogeneity has
been documented between elite inbred lines of crop species, and
there are reports of intervarietal gene loss in wheat (Haun et al.,
2011; Swanson-Wagner et al., 2010; Winfield et al., 2012).
In addition to the factors outlined above, the Chinese Spring
reference used to map the NimbleGen-captured sequences was
based upon cDNA. If only one homoeolog was sampled in the
cDNA data, and this was sufficiently divergent from the other two
homoeologous copies, we may have only been able to map
Illumina sequence data to that single genome. This would be the
case in many 3′ UTR regions that are more divergent than protein-
coding sequence and have diverged sufficiently during evolution
to preclude their co-amplification in the KASPar PCR. This
homoeolog-specific amplification could fortuitously lead to the
development of co-dominant markers, yet BLAST analysis of such
sequences against the Chinese Spring genome would show them
to be present in three copies. In summary, investigations into the
average copy number of sequences used to develop co-dominant
SNP assays and the location of the SNP in the sequence suggests
that these SNPs are likely to reside in single-copy genes of as yet
unknown function, and/or three-copy genes which are suffi-
ciently divergent that sequence data from one homoeolog does
not map to other copies. The uncharacterised nature of these
genes makes them an exciting and intriguing source of further co-
dominant markers and scientific investigation.

Wheat exome-based co-dominant SNPs 13
During this study, we have created two complementary genetic
maps, enabling 73% of our validated SNPs to be assigned a map
location. The co-dominant SNP loci had a similar pattern of
distribution between linkage groups compared with dominant
loci, suggesting that co-dominant SNP markers have a similar
distribution to the previously used dominant markers. Analysis of
the MAF and PIC scores of the different types of mapped SNPs
demonstrated that the co-dominant and partially co-dominant
SNP markers had higher levels of genetic diversity within the lines
tested, compared with dominant SNP assays, suggesting that co-
dominant SNP assays are highly suitable for use as genetic
markers.
The two genetic maps aligned well with each other, with a
similar assignment and order of common markers. Clustering of
SNP markers was observed in both linkage maps, indicating that
despite the relatively large mapping populations used, a lack of
recombination events between these markers may affect map
resolution. This may be overcome by mapping these markers
against a larger number of individuals. Preliminary results indicate
that mapping a subset of 223 evenly spaced A 9 C markers on
566 individuals from an extended A 9 C population reduced the
proportion of completely linked markers from 50.4% to 44.9%,
and it is likely that this figure could be further decreased by
specifically targeting clustered markers. However, despite the
high proportion of clustered markers, 89% of the remaining
markers map to within 10 cM of the next marker, suggesting that
these provide good overall coverage of the genome, with few
gaps. When co-dominant and dominant markers were compared
separately, similar proportions of markers were observed to map
to within 10 cM of each other (88% and 92%, respectively),
suggesting that both marker types are similarly distributed across
the map.
Both maps had a relatively low proportion of D genome loci;
this has been observed in previous studies and is likely to relate to
a lower level of diversity found in the D genome due to the effects
of the genetic bottleneck that accompanied the domestication of
hexaploid wheat (Allen et al., 2011; Caldwell et al., 2004; Chao

Alexandra M. Allen et al.14
et al., 2009). Although the mean MAF and PIC scores were
similar for A, B and D genome loci, some differences were
observed in the distributions of these measurements. The results
for A and B genome markers were similar; however, loci assigned
to the D genome had a higher proportion of high MAF and PIC
scores compared with A and B genome loci. This is the opposite
to what has been detected in previous studies (Akhunov et al.,
2010; Chao et al., 2009) and suggests that, although the lower
genetic diversity within the D genome hinders SNP discovery and
marker development, the D genome SNPs identified by our
pipeline are as informative and useful as loci from the A and B
genome.
This study has described the design, implementation and val-
idation of a pipeline designed to identify gene-based co-dominant
SNP assays from genomic DNA sequence data. The validation
results suggest that this approach is highly efficient and the
resulting co-dominant SNP markers are evenly distributed across
the genome with relatively high MAF and PIC scores. As such,
these should prove a highly valuable resource for use in breeding
programmes. The construction of two complementary genetic
maps has maximised the amount of mapped SNP loci and allowed
comparisons between UK breeding materials. The genotype data
generated in this study for 47 widely used wheat lines, combined
with genetic map locations for SNP markers, should enable wheat
researchers to target their efforts to regions of interest and enable
QTL studies and marker-assisted selection. The markers described
in this study will be useful in linking the genetic map with the
developing physical maps and so will enhance the possibility of
efficient map-based cloning in hexaploid wheat. The entire data
set presented in this study has been made publicly available via
the provision of supplementary data sets and an interactive
website (http://www.cerealsdb.uk.net/), to make this resource as
accessible and useful as possible. These new co-dominant wheat
SNP-based markers will be useful on a number of genotyping
platforms and germplasm collections and hence should be a
powerful new tool for wheat breeders and researchers alike. In
addition, the pipeline developed here to identify co-dominant
SNP markers should be applicable to other polyploid crops where
SNP discovery and marker development have previously been
challenging (Cordeiro et al., 2006; Trick et al., 2009; Yu et al.,
2012).
Experimental procedures
Plant material
Forty-seven wheat varieties were grown for DNA extraction (for
details see Data S5). The Avalon 9 Cadenza doubled-haploid
(DH) population was supplied by the John Innes Centre and was
developed by Clare Ellerbrook, Liz Sayers and the late Tony
Worland as part of a Defra-funded project led by ADAS. The
parents were originally chosen (to contrast for canopy architec-
ture traits) by Steve Parker (CSL), Tony Worland and Darren Lovell
(Rothamsted Research). The Savannah 9 Rialto DH population
was supplied by Limagrain UK Limited (Woolpit, Suffolk, UK). All
plants were grown in pots in a peat-based soil and maintained in
a glasshouse at 15–25 °C under a light regime of 16 h light and
8 h dark. Leaf tissues were harvested from 6-week-old plants and
immediately frozen on liquid nitrogen and stored at �80 °C until
nucleic acid extraction. Genomic DNA was prepared from leaf
tissue using a phenol–chloroform extraction method (Sambrook
et al., 1989).
Preparation of NimbleGen libraries
The NimbleGen capture array was designed to capture a significant
proportion of the wheat exome and was developed using a gene-
rich assembly of 454 titanium sequence data from normalised and
non-normalised cDNA libraries of Chinese Spring line 42, publically
available EST sequences and the NCBI unigene set (Winfield et al.,
2012). The resulting assembly was used by NimbleGen to design an
array containing 132 605 features with an average length of
426 bp (NimbleGen array reference 100819_Wheat_Hall_-
cap_HX1). NimbleGen sequence libraries were prepared for eight
wheat varieties (Alchemy, Avalon, Cadenza, Hereward, Rialto,
Robigus, Savannah and Xi19) as described by Winfield et al.
(2012). Post-capture-enriched sequencing libraries were subjected
to 110 bp of paired end sequencing on a Illumina Genome

Analyser (GAIIx) using Illumina TruSeq v5 Cluster Generation
(Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) and sequencing reagents following
the manufacturers preparation guides for paired end runs (Part
15019435 RevB, Oct2010 and Part 15013595 Rev C, Feb 2011,
respectively).
SNP discovery
After pre-processing of reads, where adapter sequences were
removed, the data were submitted to a custom pipeline (Winfield
et al., 2012). NGS sequences generated from the eight varieties
were mapped to the NimbleGen array reference using BWA
version 0.5.9-r16 (Li and Durbin, 2009) with a seed length of 32
bases, and the resulting SAM files were used for downstream
analysis. Uniquely mapped reads were analysed using a series of
custom PERL scripts designed to identify only differences between
varieties as opposed to those between each variety and the
reference sequence. This enabled the exclusion of homoeologous
SNPs (which are not useful markers), which were removed from
the SNP discovery pipeline. SNPs were called where there were at
least two alternative bases predicted at a reference position. An
additional constraint on SNP prediction required each SNP to be
represented by two or more independent reads or 2% of all reads
examined (whichever was the greater). Only bases that were
located at the centre of a three-base window of PHRED
quality � 20 were included in the analysis. Sequences were
discarded if they displayed more than 10% sequence variation
from the reference over their length or if they mapped equally
well to more than one locus, as the mapping in these situations
could be regarded as uncertain. In cases where multiple reads
started at the same position in the reference, all but one were
ignored to guard against clonal reads being sampled more than
once. All NGS data generated for this study will be available at:
http://www.cerealsdb.uk.net. In addition, the Illumina fastq files
and associated metadata have been uploaded to NCBI Sequence
Read Archive (SRA) under the study accession SRP011067.
Accession numbers of fastq files for each variety are as follows:
Alchemy (SRR417586.1), Avalon (SRR417587.1), Cadenza
(SRR417953.1), Hereward (SRR417954.1), Rialto (SRR417955.1),
Robigus (SRR418209.1), Savannah (SRR418210.1) and Xi19
(SRR418211.1).
SNP validation
For each putative varietal SNP, two allele-specific forward primers
and one common reverse primer (Data S1) were designed
(KBioscience, Hoddesdon, UK). Genotyping reactions were per-
formed in a Hydrocycler (KBioscience) in a final volume of 1 lLcontaining 1 9 KASP 1536 Reaction Mix (KBioscience), 0.07 lLassay mix (containing 12 lM each allele-specific forward primer
and 30 lM reverse primer) and 10–20 ng genomic DNA. The
following cycling conditions were used: 15 min at 94 °C; 10
touchdown cycles of 20 s at 94 °C, 60 s at 65–57 °C (dropping
0.8 °C per cycle); and 26–35 cycles of 20 s at 94 °C, 60 s at 57 °C. Fluorescence detection of the reactions was performed using a
Omega Pherastar scanner (BMG LABTECH GmbH, Offenburg,
Germany), and the data were analysed using the KlusterCaller 1.1
software (KBioscience).
Genetic map construction
The software programme MapDisto v. 1.7 (Lorieux, 2012) was
used to place the SNP markers in the previously established
genetic map for Avalon 9 Cadenza (http://www.wgin.org.uk/
resources/MappingPopulation/TAmapping.php). A chi-square test
was performed on all loci to test for segregation distortion from
the expected 1 : 1 ratio of each allele in a DH population, and any
loci showing significant distortion were removed from the data
set before constructing the linkage groups. Loci were assembled
into linkage groups using likelihood odds (LOD) ratios with a LOD
threshold of 6.0 and a maximum recombination frequency
threshold of 0.40. The linkage groups were ordered using the
likelihoods of different locus-order possibilities and the iterative
error removal function (maximum threshold for error probability
0.05) in MapDisto and drawn in MapChart (Voorrips, 2002). The
Kosambi mapping function (Kosambi, 1944) was used to calcu-
late map distances (cM) from recombination frequency.
SNP data analysis
Summary statistics (MAF and PIC estimates) were calculated for
loci using Powermarker 3.25 software (Liu and Muse, 2005).
