AS-qPCR Program: Allele Frequency Data for Potato Cyst Nematode Virulence

Western European research on the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida and its virulence against the GpaV_vrn genetic resistance in potatoes. The dataset likely contains allele frequency data from an allele-specific quantitative PCR (AS-qPCR) assay developed to estimate virulence levels. It was authored by Arno S. Schaveling and last updated on 2026-05-06.

Use Cases

• Estimating nematode virulence levels based on the T173N SNP allele frequency described in the study
• Comparing virulence adaptation across Dutch, British, French, and German G. pallida populations mentioned in the research
• Developing field-tailored resistance management strategies for farmers based on population-specific allele frequencies
• Validating genetic markers for virulence against the GpaV_vrn resistance in potato varieties

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is 15.9 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.
• The description provides a detailed scientific context for the data's purpose.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (15.9 KB), indicating limited scope.
