Loci Tracing in Populations
In order to visualise the
distribution of traits associated with height loci were traced amongst
provenances. Loci associated with tree height from the CANCOR analysis
were selected and were searched for in the 80 geographic provenances
using VCFtools v0.1.16. Each locus was labelled with a positive and
negative effect on height based on the CANCOR analysis. Mean number of
loci per provenance associated with a negative or positive change in
height were counted using R dplyr. Number of positive or negative loci
per provenance were geographically mapped using the R package
naturalearth (South, 2022).
