A Review on Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) Marker

Abstract
SCoT marker has emerged as a superior system when compared to RAPD. Although SCoT is a random marker system like RAPD but it is able to give high reproducibility. Also, the annealing temperature of SCoT is higher than that of RAPD. This can be attributed to longer 18-mer primers of SCoT compared to 10-mer primers of RAPD. In some cultivars SCoT has emerged superior to ISSR when used for accessing genetic relationships. The information generated by Start Codon Targeted Polymorphism in valuable. Since it is a gene targeted marker system it produces highly specific and reliable data.
