AGG Wheat: Genotypes for 32,656 Wheat Plant Genetic Resources

Genotype data for 32,656 wheat Plant Genetic Resources from the Australian Grains Genebank, genotyped with the Illumina Infinium Wheat Barley 40K v1.1 BeadChip. The dataset is provided in multiple formats, including raw and imputed VCF files, and was funded by a $30M joint investment between the Victorian Government and the Grains Research and Development Corporation. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-19.

Use Cases

• Conducting genome-wide association studies (GWAS) based on the 40K SNP markers.
• Performing population genetics analysis based on the genotype data from 32,656 wheat accessions.
• Imputing missing genotype calls for downstream analysis based on the provided filled-in VCF files.
• Analyzing marker redundancy and genome anchoring based on the provided raw and unique VCF file variants.

Strengths

• Contains genotype data for 32,656 wheat accessions.
• Data is available in multiple processed formats, including imputed and genome-anchored versions.
• Funded by a $30M strategic partnership, suggesting a substantial resource.

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.
