Abstract excerpt
In recent years, accurate and low-cost variant calling has enabled the genotyping of large diversity panels for genome-wide association studies. As a result, phenotyping rather than genotyping is now the rate-limiting step, especially in field experiments. This has created a strong need for high-throughput, accurate, and low-cost in-field phenotyping. Here, we present a genome-wide association study (GWAS) study...
