Estimating kinship is fundamental for studies of evolution, conservation, and breeding. Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) and other restriction based genotyping methods have become widely applied in these applications in non-model organisms. However, sequencing errors, depth, and reproducibility between library preps could potentially hinder accurate genetic inferences.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on functional QTL mapping of wood properties in Scots pine, addressing limitations of previous studies that used single measurements or mixed samples and ignored within-tree variations.
  • By analyzing data from 17-year-old Scots pine increment cores over multiple time points, two methods (multilevel LASSO and Bayesian linear mixed models) were compared for their effectiveness in detecting QTL related to wood traits.
  • The results showed significant QTL for both trait intercepts and slopes, highlighting important genetic influences on traits like wood density and fiber width, with some QTL linked to candidate gene SNPs for future research.
