Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) is a method that can be used for the rapid screening and verification of useful molecular markers during the selection and breeding process.
Bulked segregant analysis identifies molecular markers associated with early bulking in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz).

Bulked segregant analysis [17] is a method used for rapidly identifying markers linked to any specific gene or genomic region.

bulked segregant analysis".
A
bulked segregant analysis (BSA) (Michelmore et al., 1991) was completed to identify AFLP markers near the LG I protein QTL to further saturate the region with molecular markers and increase mapping resolution.
The DNA marker for the velvet hairiness trait was identified by RAPD technique using
bulked segregant analysis. A cross of velvet hairy (densely hairy) and sparsely hairy genotypes was made and segregating F2 generation was developed for DNA marker studies.
The identification of markers associated with different disease resistance genes has been achieved by the use of
bulked segregant analysis (BSA) in combination with molecular markers in various crop plants.
Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used in three different approaches to search for phytate loci in the Boggs-RR x CX1834-1-2 population: (i)
bulked segregant analysis (BSA; Michelmore et al., 1991), (ii) a modified BSA method which is described later, and (iii) a whole-genome scan of a subset of 94 random individuals.
Bulked segregant analysis (Michelmore et al., 1991), simple F tests, and interval mapping (Lander and Botstein, 1989) are useful techniques for identifying molecular markers linked to a specific gene or region of the genome.
