After quite some time (~5 yrs), we have finally completed the first round of analyses based on a capture probe set we have developed for genotyping in Norway spruce (Picea abies).  The first round of pre-prints describing the capture probe resource, an ultra-high density linkage map and a GWAS case study are now available on bioRxiv:

  • Design and evaluation of a large sequence-capture probe set and associated SNPs for diploid and haploid samples of Norway spruce (Picea abies). Amaryllis Vidalis, Douglas G Scofield, Leandro G Neves, Carolina Bernhardsson, María Rosario García-Gil, Pär K. Ingvarsson, bioRxiv 291716; doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/291716
  • An ultra-dense haploid genetic map for evaluating the highly fragmented genome assembly of Norway spruce (Picea abies). Carolina Bernhardsson, Amaryllis Vidalis, Xi Wang, Douglas G Scofield, Bastian Shiffthaler, John Baison, Nathaniel R Street, M. Rosario Garcia Gil, Pär K Ingvarsson

  • Association mapping identified novel candidate loci affecting wood formation in Norway spruce. John Baison, Amarylis Vidalis, Linghua Zhou, Zhi-Qiang Chen, Zitong Li, Mikko J Sillanpää, CarolinaBernahrdsson, Douglas G Scofield, Nils Forsberg, Lars Olsson, Bo Karlsson, Harry Wu, Pär K Ingvarsson, Sven-Olof Lundqvist, Totte Niittylä, Rosario M Garcia Gil, bioRxiv 292847; doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/292847
