Abstract excerpt
Conventional genome-wide association studies (GWAS) focused on the phenotypic mean differences (mGWAS) but often ignored genetic variants influencing differences in the variance between genotypes. In this study, we performed variance heterogeneity GWAS (vGWAS) analysis for 13 previously measured agronomic traits in a maize population. We discovered a total of 129 significant SNPs. We demonstrated that the genetic...
