Day 3: Standing on the shoulders of giants

Any scientific work needs strong basic knowledge and clear concepts regarding the work being handled. It is always necessary to study related literature and existing scientific material before starting a project.
Globalization and expansion in technology during the current century has made it beneficial for the scientific community. Research reviews, surveys books, scholarly articles, papers regarding ongoing research are all just one click away and provide huge resources for starting a project. One could say it is like "Standing on the shoulders of giants". Doing research without a proper literature review is  ignoring the importance of previous studies which may result in duplicate works and waste of energy!

Upon being advised by the guide, I spent the day searching for useful literature regarding use of SSR markers in linkage mapping.  Find quite a handful of papers. Check the below links if interested.

  2. Take a guidance from your guide about literature survey, authentic sites should be used for getting authentic work eg. JGate resources
