American chestnut sequencing
These data were generated from The American Chestnut Foundation's backcross breeding program. Backcross progeny were sequenced (initial F1 hybridization between C. dentata and C. mollissima followed by three backcross generations to C. dentata and finally one intercross generation). The goal of this project is to use genomic selection to predict resistance to Cryphonectria parasitica infection in the backcross breeding program, and infer parental haplotypes.
