TL;DR: Spag e d i as discussed by the authors is a software primarily designed to characterize the spatial genetic structure of mapped individuals or populations using genotype data of codominant markers, which is useful for detecting isolation by distance within or among populations and estimating gene dispersal parameters; assessing genetic relatedness between individuals and its actual variance, a parameter of interest for marker-based inferences of quantitative inheritance.

Abstract: spag e d i version 1.0 is a software primarily designed to characterize the spatial genetic structure of mapped individuals or populations using genotype data of codominant markers. It computes various statistics describing genetic relatedness or differentiation between individuals or populations by pairwise comparisons and tests their significance by appropriate numerical resampling. spag e d i is useful for: (i) detecting isolation by distance within or among populations and estimating gene dispersal parameters; (ii) assessing genetic relatedness between individuals and its actual variance, a parameter of interest for marker based inferences of quantitative inheritance; (iii) assessing genetic differentiation among populations, including the case of haploids or autopolyploids.

TASSEL: software for association mapping of complex traits in diverse samples
Peter J. Bradbury,Zhiwu Zhang,Dallas E. Kroon,Terry M. Casstevens,Yogesh Ramdoss,Edward S. Buckler +5 more
TL;DR: TASSEL (Trait Analysis by aSSociation, Evolution and Linkage) implements general linear model and mixed linear model approaches for controlling population and family structure and allows for linkage disequilibrium statistics to be calculated and visualized graphically.

TL;DR: A unified mixed-model approach to account for multiple levels of relatedness simultaneously as detected by random genetic markers is developed and provides a powerful complement to currently available methods for association mapping.

Landscape genetics: combining landscape ecology and population genetics
TL;DR: A new approach has emerged for analyzing spatial genetic data without requiring that discrete populations be identified in advance, and promises to facilitate the understanding of how geographical and environmental features structure genetic variation at both the population and individual levels.

TL;DR: A new method, efficient mixed-model association (EMMA), which corrects for population structure and genetic relatedness in model organism association mapping and takes advantage of the specific nature of the optimization problem in applying mixed models for association mapping, which allows for substantially increase the computational speed and reliability of the results.
Diversity and heritability of the maize rhizosphere microbiome under field conditions
Jason A. Peiffer,Aymé Spor,Omry Koren,Zhao Jin,Susannah G. Tringe,Jeffery L. Dangl,Edward S. Buckler,Ruth E. Ley +7 more
TL;DR: The results of this study should facilitate expanded studies to identify robust heritable plant–microbe interactions at the level of individual polymorphisms by genome wide association, so that plant-microbiome interactions can ultimately be incorporated into plant breeding.

Estimating F-statistics for the analysis of population structure.
Bruce S. Weir,C. Clark Cockerham +1 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this discussion is to offer some unity to various estimation formulae and to point out that correlations of genes in structured populations, with which F-statistics are concerned, are expressed very conveniently with a set of parameters treated by Cockerham (1 969, 1973).

Estimation of average heterozygosity and genetic distance from a small number of individuals
TL;DR: It is shown that the number of individuals to be used for estimating average heterozygosity can be very small if a large number of loci are studied and the average heter homozygosity is low.
