GWAS Atlas (https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/gwas) is a curated resource of genome-wide variant-trait associations in plants and animals. As of August 2020, GWAS Atlas has integrated 78,950 associations across seven cultivated plants and five domesticated animals that were manually curated from 1,088 studies in 304 publications. As a result, a total of 31,684 genes and 735 traits were annotated and presented based on a set of ontologies. Together, GWAS Atlas provides high-quality curated GWAS associations for plants and animals, and accordingly serves as a valuable resource for genetic research of important traits and breeding application.
