Abstract excerpt
Variation in protein 3D structures reflects genetic variation and contributes to phenotypic diversity, yet its underlying genetic mechanisms remain unclear. To investigate the relationship between protein 3D structure and phenotype, we predict the 3D structures of 795,649 proteins from 26 maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines using AlphaFold2. Population genetics analysis of these protein 3D structures reveal that...
