NIAB MAGIC population resources

Contact: James Cockram

The NIAB Multi-parent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross wheat populations, or MAGIC, were created using BBSRC funding. Subsequent genotyping and phenotyping have been funded directly by NIAB.

This site contains information and files relevant to the NIAB Elite MAGIC and NIAB Diverse MAGIC populations.
