Wild Emmer Wheat Whole-Genome Sequencing Data for 291 Accessions

291 wild emmer wheat accessions sequenced at approximately 9.5x coverage, yielding 14 TB of whole-genome sequencing data. The dataset includes 3.4 million high-quality SNP markers and analysis outputs for population genetics and rust resistance studies. It was authored by Laxman Adhikari and last updated on 2026-04-22.

Use Cases

• Conduct phylogenetic clustering and population structure assessment based on SNP markers.
• Perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for seedling-stage resistance to stem, leaf, and stripe rusts.
• Analyze genetic diversity and pairwise FST differences among population subgroups.
• Study the evolutionary history of tetraploid wheat using whole-genome sequencing data.

Strengths

• Includes 3.4 million high-quality SNP markers derived from sequencing.
• Based on whole-genome sequencing data from 291 distinct accessions.
• Sequencing coverage is approximately 9.5x, providing a detailed genomic view.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2026-04-22; freshness should be verified.
