However, due to the presence of background mutations and errors in sequencing, genotyping, and reference assembly, it is often difficult to distinguish true causal mutations from background mutations. In this study, we developed the BSAseq workflow, which includes an automated bioinformatics analysis pipeline with a probabilistic model for estimating the linked region (the region linked to the causal mutation) and an interactive Shiny web application for visualizing the results. We deeply sequenced a sorghum male-sterile parental line (ms8) to capture the majority of background mutations in our bulked F2 data. We applied the workflow to 11 bulked sorghum F2 populations and 1 rice F2 population and identified the true causal mutation in each population. The workflow is intuitive and straightforward, facilitating its adoption by users without bioinformatics analysis skills. We anticipate that the BSAseq workflow will be broadly applicable to the identification of causal mutations for many phenotypes of interest.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>BSAseq is freely available on https:\/\/www.sciapps.org\/page\/bsa.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btaa709","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,4]],"date-time":"2020-08-04T15:31:10Z","timestamp":1596555070000},"page":"382-387","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["BSAseq: an interactive and integrated web-based workflow for identification of causal mutations in bulked F2 populations"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6810-1332","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liya","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory , Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724, USA"}]},{"given":"Zhenyuan","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory , Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724, USA"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Regulski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory , Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724, USA"}]},{"given":"Yinping","family":"Jiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas Tech University Department of Plant and Soil Science, , Lubbock, TX 79409, USA"}]},{"given":"Junping","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"USDA-ARS Cropping Systems Research Laboratory , Lubbock, TX 79415, USA"}]},{"given":"Doreen","family":"Ware","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory , Cold Spring Harbor, NY 11724, USA"},{"name":"USDA-ARS Plant, Soil and Nutrition Research Unit , Ithaca, NY 14853, USA"}]},{"given":"Zhanguo","family":"Xin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"USDA-ARS Cropping Systems Research Laboratory , Lubbock, TX 79415, USA"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023051701213505900_btaa709-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"174","DOI":"10.1038\/nbt.2095","article-title":"Genome sequencing reveals agronomically important loci in rice using MutMap","volume":"30","author":"Abe","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nat.
