Performance of single nucleotide polymorphisms versus haplotypes for genome-wide association analysis in barley.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) may benefit from utilizing haplotype information for making marker-phenotype associations.Several rationales for grouping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) into haplotype blocks exist, but any advantage may depend on such factors as genetic architecture of traits, patterns of linkage disequilibrium in the
