Providing biological context for GWAS results using eQTL regulatory and co-expression networks in Populus.

Abstract excerpt

Our study utilized genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to link nucleotide variants to traits in Populus trichocarpa, a species with rapid linkage disequilibrium decay. The aim was to overcome the challenge of interpreting statistical associations at individual loci without sufficient biological context, which often leads to reliance solely on gene annotations from unrelated model organisms. We employed an...
