Sol Genomic Network Concepts

The video tutorial by Heather MK introduces the Sol Genomics Network (SGN) and its resources, focusing on the Breeders Toolbox. It explains how to use the Marker Search Tool to find information about specific markers or search based on criteria. The tutorial covers searching by marker name, using advanced search options, and utilizing the Tomato Genome Browser for detailed marker information. It also provides insights into advanced search criteria, including bacterial artificial chromosomes and map locations.

What is the primary purpose of the Sol Genomic Network (SGN)?
