Introduction

This repository contains an implementation of a k-mer-based method for Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) in complex polyploid organisms (e.g., sugarcane, potato, sweetpotato, alfalfa，…). The approach is equally applicable to diploid species. By leveraging k-mer abundance profiles and statistical modeling, the method identifies associations between genetic variants and phenotypic traits.
