2489 QTLs and 2528 GWAS positions added to AD1-NBI genome (7/24)

2489 QTLs and 2528 GWAS positions added to the Gossypium hirsutum (AD1) 'TM-1' genome.

The 2489 QTLs were in-silico identified by the CottonGen Team and viewable on JBrowse.

The steps of the in-silico identification are:

1. Identify marker positions on the AD1-NBI_v1.1 genome

1a. by BLAST search marker primers (view HERE for details)

1b. by BLAT search marker sequences (view Here or HERE for details)

2. Identify QTLs based on associated markers (view HERE for details)

The 2528 GWAS genome positions were from two GWAS datasets:

1. AD1-NBI_quality_USDANO-Thyssen-2019_GWAS (Thyssen et al., 2019) 
2. AD1-NBI_root-traits_CRI-Chen-2022_GWAS  (Cui et al., 2022)
