Abstract

For identification of marker-trait associations (MTAs) for complex traits in animals and plants, thousands of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were conducted during the past two decades. This involved regular improvement in methodology. Initially, a reference genome and SNPs were used; more recently pan-genomes and the markers structural variations (SVs)/k-mers are also being used.
