Open AccessLinkage disequilibrium and genome-wide association analysis for anthocyanin pigmentation and fruit color in eggplant
The genome-wide association (GWA) approach represents an alternative to biparental linkage map** for determining the genetic basis of trait variation. Both approaches rely on recombination to re-arrange the ...
