Abstract excerpt
An updated platform was developed to underpin association genetics studies in the polyploid crop species Brassica napus (oilseed rape). Based on 1.92 × 1012 bases of leaf mRNAseq data, functional genotypes, comprising 355 536 single-nucleotide polymorphism markers and transcript abundance were scored across a genetic diversity panel of 383 accessions using a transcriptome reference comprising 116 098 ordered...
