Quality Markers

A diverse population (429 member) of canola (Brassica napus L.) consisting primarily of winter biotypes was assembled and used in genome-wide association studies. Genotype by sequencing analysis of the population identified and mapped 290,972 high-quality markers ranging from 18.5 to 82.4% missing markers per line and an average of 36.8%. After interpolation, 251,575 high-quality markers remained. After filtering for markers with low minor allele counts (count > 5), we were left with 190,375 markers. The average distance between these markers is 4463 bases with a median of 69 and a range from 1 to 281,248 bases. The heterozygosity among the imputed population ranges from 0.9 to 11.0% with an average of 5.4%. The filtered and imputed dataset was used to determine population structure and kinship, which indicated that the population had minimal structure with the best K value of 2–3. These results also indicated that the majority of the population has substantial sequence from a single population with sub-clusters of, and admixtures with, a very small number of other populations. Analysis of chromosomal linkage disequilibrium decay ranged from ~7 Kb for chromosome A01 to ~68 Kb for chromosome C01. Local linkage decay rates determined for all 500 kb windows with a 10kb sliding step indicated a wide range of linkage disequilibrium decay rates, indicating numerous crossover hotspots within this population, and provide a resource for determining the likely limits of linkage disequilibrium from any given marker in which to identify candidate genes. This population and the resources provided here should serve as helpful tools for investigating genetics in winter canola.
