[DATASET] Genome-wide association study and haplotype characterization of bacterial kidney

55.7 MB of genomic and phenotypic data from two generations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) for a genome-wide association study (GWAS). The dataset supports research on bacterial kidney disease (BKD) resistance and haplotype characterization. It was authored by Angela Astudillo and last updated on June 2, 2026.

Use Cases

• Conducting a genome-wide association study (GWAS) based on the provided genomic and phenotypic data.
• Characterizing haplotypes linked to bacterial kidney disease (BKD) resistance in Atlantic salmon.
• Analyzing the heritability of disease resistance traits across two salmon generations.
• Training predictive models for disease resistance using combined genomic and phenotypic markers.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly linked to a published Frontiers in Genetics paper, providing academic context.
• Includes data from two generations, allowing for analysis of trait heritability.
• Available in multiple standard bioinformatics formats (BED, CSV, FAM, BIM) for interoperability.

Limitations

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