Lot of fun data wrangling in this project (and future ones scaling it up) to demonstrate the complex genetic architecture of traits like climate adaptation. Big thanks to folks at @cimmyt.bsky.social and advisors @jrossibarra.bsky.social + Dan Runcie. (3/3)

While we can use methods from landscape genomics like environmental GWAS to identify adaptive genetic loci, these loci and climate-of-origin data don't contribute much more to prediction of phenotypic traits in multi-environment trials than GBS data or population structure. (2/3)
