The relevance of dominance and functional annotations to predict agronomic traits in hybrid maize

Supporting data for analyses of hybrid panels in “The relevance of dominance and functional annotations to predict agronomic traits in hybrid maize” (bioRxiv: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/745208v1). This study examined within-locus complementation and enrichment of genetic effects by functional classes in maize. We based our analyses on a diverse panel of inbred lines crossed with two testers representative of the major heterotic groups in the United States (1,106 hybrids), as well as a collection of 24 biparental populations crossed with a single tester (1,640 hybrids). We assayed these hybrids for more than 12 millions SNP markers, and evaluated them for three agronomic traits: days to silking, plant height and grain yield.
