Merged SNP Dataset: Vavilov and OzWheat Panels Imputed with OzWheat V1 (GRDC RustHapSelect Project)

This collection contains a merged SNP dataset from the Vavilov and OzWheat (panel 1 and 2) populations. OzWheat V1 SNP data was used as the reference population to impute missing SNPs in Vavilov and OzWheat V2 SNP data. This data was generated as part of GRDC project: ACRCP Phase 5: Optimising genetic control of wheat rusts through development of RustHapSelect (ref: CSP2304-013RTX). In this project we aim to validate a new approach to bring effective and durable rust resistance loci into elite high-yielding backgrounds much faster. This will ensure breeder take-up of this material free of deleterious background effects and increase adult plant resistance in Australian wheat varieties. Applying novel genomic selection techniques to identify resistance sources in two wheat diversity panels, Vavilov diversity panel (295 lines) and the OzWheat diversity panel (589 lines) and optimise crossing strategies to introgress into new cultivars.
