Our group consists of two research groups : Theoretical Biology (headed by Rob de Boer) and Bioinformatics (headed by Berend Snel) at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social
Using this methodology, they recovered both known and many novel QTLs for color and height, opening up new breeding targets.

This study represents a blueprint for high-throughput genetics studies, with the entire methodology as well as all the raw data fully and conveniently available.

They used an innovative GWAS approach involving the construction of many traits as ratios of the imaging data and quantifying these traits using various summary statistics. They then optimized the GWAS for computational efficiency to facilitate mapping this large number of traits.
