Raman Babu, PhD Utilizes SVS to Handle Large Datasets with Quick Results Dr. Raman Babu, a Maize Molecular Breeder at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT, www. cimmyt.org) headquartered in Mexico, uses molecular marker technology to develop maize lines with increased crop yields and nutritional quality. The completion of the maize genome sequence combined with the development of low-cost, high- throughput sequencing technologies have generated a need for an analytical tool to correlate high density SNP marker information with the range of traits that CIMMYT focuses on in their breeding programs. Dr. Babu found that SNP & Variation Suite (SVS) met most of those needs. “SVS can handle a large amount of data with relative ease, ” he says. The mission o
