Multi-Parent Advanced Generation Intercross (Magic) Population for Genome Mapping in Plant

Bin-based genome-wide association studies reveal superior alleles for improvement of appearance quality using a 4-way MAGIC population in rice

“…Recently, MAGIC populations have overcome the limitations of existing mapping populations, and have been recognized as some of the most potent mapping resources because of their diverse genetic multifounder contributions and weak population structure [43] . To date, scientists have established many MAGIC populations in cereals such as rice [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , barley [49] , and maize [50] .…”
