Crop populations derived from experimental crosses enable the genetic dissection of
complex traits and support modern plant breeding. Among these, multi-parent populations …

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has become a widely accepted strategy for
decoding genotype-phenotype associations in many species thanks to advances in next …

R/qtl2 is an interactive software environment for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in
experimental populations. The R/qtl2 software expands the scope of the widely-used R/qtl …

We report genome sequences of 17 inbred strains of laboratory mice and identify almost ten
times more variants than previously known. We use these genomes to explore the …

Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) can identify common alleles that contribute to
complex disease susceptibility. Despite the large number of SNPs assessed in each study …

The discovery of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions, which
are the basis of most differences between alleles, has been simplified by recent …

Key message MAGIC populations present novel challenges and opportunities in crops due
to their complex pedigree structure. They offer great potential both for dissecting genomic …

Dissecting the genetic architecture of complex traits is an ongoing challenge for geneticists.
Two complementary approaches for genetic mapping, linkage mapping and association …

▪ Abstract Phenotypic variation for quantitative traits results from the segregation of alleles at
multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) with effects that are sensitive to the genetic, sexual, and …

Identifying natural allelic variation that underlies quantitative trait variation remains a
fundamental problem in genetics. Most studies have employed either simple synthetic …
