What is it about?
The precision in the plant genetic analysis has been revolutionized due to the use of molecular markers. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found to be the most popular marker technique. This chapter focuses on computational approaches for SNP discovery in plants through reference-based and de novo strategies. Various applications of SNP markers in plant breeding and crop improvement have been discussed

Why is it important?
SNPs are a significant component of crop genomic diversity and are invaluable tools as genetic markers in research, breeding programs, and locating the genes associated with plant-specific traits. Analysis of genetic diversity occurring within a population is of significance for crop improvement. SNPs are increasingly becoming the marker of choice for a wide range of applications, including genetic mapping, SNP marker assisted plant breeding and diversity analysis
