Melissa Officinalis SNP Matrix for 249 Genotypes

A filtered SNP matrix of 29,307 single nucleotide polymorphisms from 249 Melissa officinalis genotypes, provided as supplementary material for a study on population structure and genetic diversity. The dataset was authored by Daniel von Maydell and last updated on 2026-05-02. It is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license on the figshare platform.

Use Cases

• Analyzing population structure and genetic diversity based on the 29,307 SNP markers.
• Constructing a core germplasm set for Melissa officinalis based on the filtered SNP matrix.
• Performing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for traits of interest using the SNP data.
• Comparing genetic variation across the international collection of 256 genotypes.

Strengths

• Contains 29,307 filtered SNPs, providing a high-density marker set for genetic analysis.
• Covers 249 genotypes from an international collection, offering a broad sample of genetic diversity.
• The data is explicitly linked to a peer-reviewed manuscript, providing context and validation.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality and field semantics must be inferred from the associated manuscript.
• The dataset size of 14.7 MB is relatively small, which may limit the complexity of analyses.
