Rewarewa (Knightia excelsa, Proteaceae) is a tree species endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand, with a natural distribution spanning Te Ika-a-Māui (North Island) and the top of Te Waipounamu (South Island). We used the pseudo-chromosome genome assembly of re
(Tararua, Ruahine, Kaweka, Kaimanawa and Raukūmara ranges), with the population to the east of the mountain range from Masterton to East Cape represented by the more genetically diverse samples from NZ: Napier, while the population to the west from Palmerston North to Northland is represented...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) use statistical models to detect causal regions in the genome that control a trait of interest. While such genomic association studies have been extensively applied to diploid species, more work is still required for polyploid species, owing to their higher gen...
