Ecotilling Applications

The Ecotilling technique is applicable to any organism, including those that are heterozygous and polyploid.

Ecotilling can be used for:

• Mapping: Detection of polymorphisms that can be used as genetic markers.

• Association Analysis: Correlating natural polymorphisms with phenotypic traits.

• Mutational Profiling: Characterizing the amount of genetic variation in a species.

• Biodiversity: Determining the evolutionary history of natural populations.
