Provenance & quality

A multi-site field trial was established at three sites in Scotland in 2012 using five year old Scots pine trees. Each site contains 8 families from each of 21 native Caledonian pinewood provenances. Two of the sites (Glensaugh and Yair) have four randomised blocks and the other (Inverewe) has three randomised blocks.

This dataset relates to a subset of trees (N = 208) from two of the sites (Glensaugh, N = 108; Yair, N = 100). Glensaugh (latitude 56.893567, longitude -2.535736) and Yair (latitude 55.603625, longitude -2.893025)

Phenotypes (height and budburst) were assessed in situ at each site in spring (budburst) and winter (height) between 2015 and 2020.

Trees were genotyped using a multi-species SNP array (Perry et al., 2020). DNA was extracted from needles using a Qiagen DNeasy 96 kit following the manufacturer’s instructions. Needles were dried on silica gel prior to extraction and DNA was quantified using a Qubit spectrophotometer to ensure a minimum standardized concentration of 35ng/µl. The quality of genomic DNA was also checked visually for fragmentation on 1 % agarose gel.

Genotyping was done at Edinburgh Genomics following DNA amplification, fragmentation, chip hybridisation, single-base extension through DNA ligation and signal amplification performed according to the Affymetrix Axiom® Assay protocol. Genotyping was performed in 384-well format on a GeneTitan according to the manufacturer’s procedure. Genotype calls were performed using Axiom Analysis Suite software as recommended by the manufacturer (ThermoFisher). Samples were assigned to an analysis group based on their call rate (CR) and dish QC (DQC: a metric provided by ThermoFisher which is generated by measuring signals at multiple sites in the genome known not to vary among individuals), using the following thresholds: DQC ‘high’ ≥ 0.82; DQC ‘low’ < 0.82; CR ‘high’ ≥ 96; CR ‘low’ < 96. Analyses: 1) DQC high + CR high; 2) DQC high + CR low; 3) DQC low + CR low. High quality samples (N=529), with high CR and DQC, were used to set thresholds for allele calls. Posteriors for allele calls were subsequently used as priors for analyses 2 (N = 753) and 3 (N = 251).
