Unfiltered VCF Data for 196 Melissa Officinalis Genotypes

Unfiltered VCF data from 196 genotypes of Melissa officinalis (lemon balm). The dataset is a 124.1 MB supplementary file from a study analyzing the population structure and genetic diversity of an international collection of 256 genotypes. It was authored by Daniel von Maydell and last updated on May 2, 2026.

Use Cases

• Conducting population genetics analysis based on the unfiltered variant calls.
• Assessing genetic diversity and constructing core sets based on the VCF data from 196 genotypes.
• Performing quality control and filtering pipelines on raw genomic variant data.

Strengths

• Data is openly shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
• The file size is 124.1 MB, indicating a medium-scale genomic dataset.
• The dataset is associated with a specific research study on an international collection of 256 genotypes.

Limitations

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