High throughput genetic diversity analyses of neglected crops: training data, codes and materials (Africa)

Helping to develop such zones in Africa is a key goal for the EU-funded EWA-BELT project. The aim is to promote the sustainable intensification of agricultural production in organic, agroforestry and mixed crop and livestock farming systems in 38 study areas of six countries belonging to East and West Africa.

The project will enhance current scientific knowledge on the adaptation of new and improved traditional crops in different agroecosystems and the impacts of traditional agricultural practices on soil health. This initiation to genomic data analysis with R was designed within the EWA-BELT H2020 EU project (grant agreement ID 862848). The training module introduced to a variety of population genomics analyses for genotyping by sequencing (GBS) datasets.
