We use DNA‐fingerprinting to estimate the poverty reduction effect of adoption of improved cassava varieties in Nigeria. We estimate the counterfactual household income distribution of cassava producers by combining farm‐level treatment effects with a market‐level model. Our results suggest that ...

The persistent challenge of insufficient food, unbalanced nutrition, and deteriorating natural resources in the most vulnerable nations, characterized by fast population growth, calls for utilization of innovative technologies to curb constraints of crop production. Enhancing genetic gain by usin...

Compared with other reduced-representation sequencing methods, library construction for genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) is simpler and less expensive. However, elimination of sizeselection steps results in libraries of more variable fragment size than with other reduced-re...


Hamblin, M.Rabbi, Ismail Y.[The effects of restrictionenzyme choice on properties of genotypingbysequencing libraries: a study in cassava (Manihot esculenta)]The effects of restrictionenzyme choice on properties of genotypingbysequencing libraries: a study in cassava (Manihot esculenta)

Cassava (Manihot esculenta L.) is one of the most important food crops in the tropics, but yields are far below their potential. The gene pool of cassava contains natural genetic diversity relevant to many important breeding goals, but breeding progress has been slow, partly because of insuf-fici...

Modern biotechnologies have dramatically reshaped the crop improvement research during the past decade. Biotechniques have become indispensable for efficient and effective development of new knowledge, processes, and products. IITA's biotechnology, strategized as three major themes― genomics, tra...
