QTLs aligned across genomes (6/25)

QTLs and primer-based markers have been aligned to more representative genomes, allowing you to find peach QTLs in almond, cherry, and apricot genomes, and vice versa. Part of the data was used in the paper below.

Itam, M., Jung, S., Zheng, P., Lee, T., Cheng, C.-H., Buble, K., Main, D., & Gasic, K. (2025). Genetic architecture of key traits for Prunus crop improvement: An overview of 25 years of curated genomic and breeding data. Horticulture Research, 2025, uhaf142. https://doi.org/10.1093/hr/uhaf142

• primer-based markers
• QTLs and MTLs

The same analysis has been previously conducted for Malus, Pyrus, Fragaria, and Rubus. Refer to the news items (7/24 and 8/24) for the assemblies used.
