Appearance
Patent-protected SNP-based purity assay using 24 core loci with Naive Bayes classification for accurate coconut variety identification.
SNP Panel: 24 loci selected from whole-genome resequencing data:
Classifier: Naive Bayes model
P(variety|SNP₁...SNP₂₄) ∝ P(variety) · ∏P(SNPᵢ|variety)| Scenario | Traditional approach | SNP assay |
|---|---|---|
| Variety authentication | Phenotyping (2−3 years to fruiting) | 24-hour result |
| Seedling purity | Field survey (labor-intensive) | Minimal sample required |
| Hybrid progeny verification | Pedigree tracing (records-dependent) | SNP fingerprint matching |
| Contamination source tracing | No effective method | SNP difference mapping |
