k-mer-Based Genome-Wide Association Studies in Plants: Advances, Challenges, and Perspectives.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have allowed the discovery of marker-trait associations in crops over recent decades. However, their power is hampered by a number of limitations, with the key one among them being an overreliance on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as molecular markers. Indeed, SNPs represent only one type of genetic variation and are usually derived from alignment to a single genome...
