Genome-wide association study published in Nature

/in /by

Based on the Arabidopsis thaliana haplotype map that we published in 2007, 1200 accessions are currently genotyped with a 250,000 SNP chip by the Bergelson, Borevitz and Nordborg labs.

The data can be found here. The results from performing genome-wide association scans (GWAS) with the first set of lines have just been published in Nature, including several phenotypes analyzed at the Max Planck Institute.
