Summary: The common bean is an important source of protein, dietary fiber, iron and other minerals, complex carbohydrates, vitamins and calories for millions of people in developing and developed nations in South America and Eastern and Southern Africa. Because the common bean is closely related to soybean, many of the thousands of SNP-containing sequence tagged sites (STS) available in soybean might be of use in common bean without the need for de novo SNP marker development. In soybean, SNPs occur at a frequency of about one SNP per 1000 nucleotides in genomic DNA and they can be used to directly detect alleles responsible for a trait of interest. Every SNP in context with its surrounding genomic sequence is unique.
