Monoe.Viroflay Spinach SNP Dataset for GWAS and Genomic Prediction

Ainong Shi published this dataset on figshare in May 2026. It consists of 86,049 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyped across 227 spinach accessions. The data was used for genome-wide association studies and genomic prediction analyses of yield per plant, gender distribution, and days to flowering.

Use Cases

• Conduct genome-wide association studies (GWAS) based on the 86,049 SNP markers to identify genetic loci linked to agronomic traits.
• Perform genomic prediction (GP) analyses based on SNP data to estimate breeding values for traits like yield and flowering time.
• Analyze genetic diversity and population structure among the 227 spinach accessions based on the SNP dataset.
• Investigate the genetic basis of gender distribution in spinach plants using the provided genotypic data.

Strengths

• Contains a substantial number of 86,049 SNP markers, providing dense genomic coverage.
• Covers a panel of 227 spinach accessions, which likely represents a diverse genetic sample.
• Has a clear, permissive license (CC-BY-4.0) facilitating open reuse.

Limitations

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