Supplementary Dataset 2 from the paper "Syntenic cell wall QTLs as versatile breeding tools: intra-specific allelic variability and predictability of biomass quality loci in target plant species"

This dataset contains 100 sets of 91 random QTL regions from the genome of Miscanthus sinensis that mirror the basepair size distribution of 91 QTLs that were found in Miscanthus sinensis through genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) for multiple traits related to biomass (cell wall) quality. The 100 sets of random QTL regions were used in the publication attached to this dataset to perform a permutation analysis to test for co-localization between a set of syntenic QTLs for cell wall quality previously mapped in Miscanthus and the QTLs detected by GWAS (see above). The 100 sets of random QTL regions have been produced in R, by applying the size distribution of GWAS QTLs as constraint for determining the size of random QTLs. Random QTLs could be picked across the whole miscanthus genome, to ensure complete randomness.

本数据集包含100套随机数量性状基因座（Quantitative Trait Locus，简称QTL）区域集合，每套包含91个随机QTL区域，所有区域均源自五节芒（Miscanthus sinensis）基因组。这些随机QTL区域的碱基对长度分布，与通过全基因组关联分析（Genome-Wide Association Study，简称GWAS）在五节芒中针对多个与生物质（细胞壁）品质相关的性状所鉴定得到的91个QTL的碱基对长度分布完全匹配。
本数据集附带的已发表研究中，使用这100套随机QTL区域集合开展置换检验分析，以验证此前在五节芒中定位得到的细胞壁品质相关共线性QTL集合，与本次GWAS检测到的QTL之间的共定位情况（详见前文）。
该100套随机QTL区域集合通过R语言生成：以本次GWAS鉴定得到的QTL长度分布作为约束条件，确定随机QTL的长度；为确保完全随机，随机QTL可从五节芒的全基因组范围内随机选取。
