Comparison of mixed-model approaches for association mapping.

TL;DR: The mixed-model association-mapping approaches using a kinship matrix estimated by REML are more appropriate for association mapping than the recently proposed QK method with respect to (i) the adherence to the nominal α-level and (ii) the adjusted power for detection of quantitative trait loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population structure and genetic diversity in a commercial maize breeding program assessed with SSR and SNP markers

TL;DR: The results suggested that the same conclusions regarding the structure and the diversity of heterotic pools could be drawn from both markers types, and it was proposed that between 7 and 11 times more SNPs than SSRs should be used for analyzing population structure and genetic diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linkage disequilibrium in European elite maize germplasm investigated with SSRs

TL;DR: The results indicate that a high proportion of the observed LD is generated by forces, such as relatedness, population stratification, and genetic drift, which cause a high risk of detecting false positives in association mapping.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns of molecular variation in a species-wide germplasm set of Brassica napus

TL;DR: The population structure of a large and diverse set of B. napus inbred lines was examined, and a decay of genetic diversity with more recent release dates and reduced levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates was observed.
