Evaluation of genetic diversity across the inbreds used by G2F project using GBS. Zea mays

GBS sequencing of Maize inbred lines from the G2F project . G2F is an umbrella initiative to support translation of maize genomic information for the benefit of growers, consumers and society. This public-private partnership is building on publicly funded corn genome sequencing projects to develop approaches to understand the functions of corn genes and specific alleles across environments. Ultimately this information will be used to enable accurate prediction of the phenotypes of corn plants in diverse environments. There are many dimensions to the over-arching goal of understanding genotype-by-environment (GxE) interactions, including which genes impact which traits and trait components, how genes interact among themselves (GxG), the relevance of specific genes under different growing conditions, and how these genes influence plant growth during various stages of development.

本数据集包含G2F项目中玉米自交系的基因分型测序（Genotyping-by-Sequencing，GBS）数据。G2F是一项综合性倡议，旨在推动玉米基因组信息的转化应用，以惠及种植者、消费者与全社会。该公私合作伙伴项目依托公共资助的玉米基因组测序项目，开发研究方法以解析玉米基因与特定等位基因在不同环境下的功能。最终，该研究产生的信息将用于精准预测玉米植株在多样环境中的表型。解析基因型-环境互作（Genotype-by-Environment，GxE）是本项目的核心目标，其涵盖多维度研究内容：包括哪些基因影响何种性状与性状组分、基因间的互作模式（Genotype-by-Genotype，GxG）、特定基因在不同生长条件下的调控相关性，以及这些基因如何影响植物在不同发育阶段的生长过程。
