TL;DR: This work estimated the confidence intervals/thresholds of the popular algorithms at the genomic region level and increased the detection power of these algorithms by at least 5 folds, which should drastically reduce the sequencing cost of BSA-Seq studies. (via Semantic Scholar)

AbstractNext-generation sequencing based bulked segregant analysis (BSA-Seq) has been widely used in identifying genomic regions associated with a trait of interest. However, the most popular algorithms for BSA-Seq data analysis have relatively low detection power, and high sequencing depths are required for the detection of genomic regions linked to the trait. Here we estimated the confidence intervals/thresholds of the popular algorithms at the genomic region level and increased the detection power of these algorithms by at least 5 folds, which should drastically reduce the sequencing cost of BSA-Seq studies.
