A new study published in the Plant Biotechnology Journal presents a high-quality soybean genetic variation panel called 4kSoyGVP, which can be used for genotype imputation and improving the power of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in soybean research. The panel was constructed using population-level resequencing data from 4414 soybean accessions from major soybean-production regions around the world. The study also introduces a soybean genetic variation platform called SoyGVD, which provides important data resources and tools for future soybean genetic research and breeding. The research was supported by various funding sources and the authors declare no competing financial interests. [Extracted from the article]
