Unfiltered VCF Data from 249 Melissa Officinalis Genotypes

Unfiltered VCF data from 249 genotypes of Melissa officinalis (lemon balm). The dataset is a 260.6 MB supplementary file for a study on population structure and genetic diversity. It was authored by Daniel von Maydell and last updated on May 2, 2026.

Use Cases

• Population structure analysis based on genetic variation data from 249 genotypes.
• Genetic diversity assessment based on unfiltered variant calls.
• Core set construction for germplasm collections based on the international collection of genotypes.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific study on population structure and genetic diversity of 256 genotypes.
• The file size is 260.6 MB, suggesting a substantial amount of variant data.
• The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
