Lentil Whole-Genome Resequencing Data with 103 Million SNPs

Yu Ma generated a map of genome variation for the lentil crop. The dataset includes 238 Lens accessions, comprising 112 cultivated lentils, 71 landraces, and 55 wild species, and contains 103,290,296 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The data was last updated on 2026-05-22 and is available under a CC0-1.0 license.

Use Cases

• Identifying candidate genes for Fusarium root rot resistance based on predicted TIR-NBS-LRR and auxin-binding protein genes.
• Analyzing selective sweeps for traits like flowering time and disease resistance during domestication.
• Studying population genomic structure and divergence times between wild and cultivated lentil species.
• Supporting genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for agronomically important traits in lentils.

Strengths

• Contains 103,290,296 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for detailed genomic analysis.
• Includes a diverse panel of 238 accessions covering cultivated, landrace, and wild lentil species.
• Provides a basis for identifying the genetic architecture of economically important traits.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset size is listed as 0.0 B, indicating a very limited scope or potential metadata issue.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download.
