gsrc

gsrc is a tool specifically designed to detect genome structure rearrangements in allopolyploid species. These species are known to exhibit deletions, duplications, and homeologous non-reciprocal translocations (HNRT) between highly similar subgenomes. The occurrence of these rearrangements can have a significant impact on phenotypic traits. However, the detection of these rearrangements using high-density array genotyping data is a more cost-effective alternative to sequencing approaches, which can be limited by their cost-intensive nature.

gsrc can reliably detect genome structure rearrangements using high-density array genotyping data, providing researchers with a valuable tool to study the impact of these rearrangements on phenotypic traits. The package was applied to a publicly available Brassica napus dataset as an example, demonstrating the tool's effectiveness in detecting genome structure rearrangements.
