Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingHow do SSR and SNP markers differ in mango genetic studies?

SSR assays examine variation in repeated DNA regions, whereas SNP assays score differences at individual DNA positions. Both can support identity and diversity work when suitably designed. Choose according to the question, available references, and demonstrated resolution, not simply the larger marker count. Results from different systems need compatible reference information before they can be combined into one identity conclusion.
