Resumen

Los estudios de asociación de todo el genoma (GWAS) son poderosos para comprender la genética de las plantas. Este estudio en Arabidopsis thaliana identificó muchas variantes genéticas comunes que influyen en varios rasgos, lo que demuestra la viabilidad de GWAS en las plantas.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...
