Disentangling direct and pleiotropic SNP effects in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) using causal graph learning.

Abstract excerpt

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a critical forage crop whose improvement depends on resolving the complex genetic architecture of agronomic traits. While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) effectively identify statistically associated markers, they often fail to distinguish direct genetic effectors from indirect or pleiotropic signals arising from linkage disequilibrium and population structure. Here, we...
