Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) holds significant economic importance globally. Evaluating a diverse range of germplasm based on molecular characteristics not only enhances its preservation but also supports its utilization in breeding programs. In this study, we assessed genetic diversity and population structure among 155 cassava genotypes from Uganda using 5247 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers....
