Text1: Exome capture sequencing is an effective method to capture the genomic variation at genic regions in Saccharum spp. The exome consists of the DNA sequences of the protein coding DNAs (CDs) of the genome, which normally counts for a very small portion of the whole genome. To capture these genic regions, the available genic region sequences are required for probe design. Capture sequencing is a targeted method whereby specific DNA or RNA sequences (‘probes’) are used to ‘capture’ similar sequences from an organism, which can then be sequenced to discover important variation.
