Utilizing evolutionary conservation to detect deleterious mutations and improve genomic prediction in cassava

IntroductionCassava (Manihot esculenta) is an annual root crop which provides the major source of calories for over half a billion people around the world. Since its domestication ~10,000 years ago, cassava has been largely clonally propagated through stem cuttings. Minimal sexual recombination has...
