Abstract
This study presents a genome-wide variation map of soybean, analyzing 781 individuals (418 domesticated, 345 wild, and 18 hybrids). The researchers detected 183 domestication-selective sweeps and observed a reduction in deleterious mutations from wild to domesticated soybean, further decreasing from landraces to improved accessions. This resource enhances the resolution of genome-wide association studies for seed protein and oil traits.
