I have a biparental population of Cacao for about 188 lines. I was initially thinking of doing QTL mapping, however, when I got the GBS data for my samples, I was informed by the sequencing company that there is a lot of genetic distance between the markers and I should go with the GWAS approach? Can anyone please give me some advice on it?
The genetic distance between the two parents used to construct the mapping population is 0.5635
