Arabidopsis thaliana as a model for the genetics of local adaptation

A Corrigendum to this article was published on 29 May 2012

This article has been updated

A new study reports SNP genotypes of over 1,300 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions from throughout Eurasia, providing a resource for genome-wide association studies and studies of local adaptation. The extensive data are also used to identify targets of natural selection and to describe genome-wide patterns of recombination.
