Abstract
Estimation of allelic frequencies is often required in breeding but genotyping many individuals at many loci can be expensive. We have developed a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach for estimating allelic frequencies on pooled samples (Pool-GBS) and used it to examine segregation distortion in doubled haploid (DH) populations of barley ( L.). In the first phase, we genotyped each line individually and exploited these data to explore a strategy to call single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on pooled reads. We measured both the number of SNPs called and the variance of the estimated allelic frequencies at various depths of coverage on a subset of reads containing 5 to 25 million reads. We show that allelic frequencies could be cost-effectively and accurately estimated at a depth of 50 reads per SNP using 15 million reads. This Pool-GBS approach yielded 1984 SNPs whose allelic frequency estimates were highly reproducible (CV = 10.4%) and correlated ( = 0.9167) with the "true" frequency derived from analysis of individual lines. In a second phase, we used Pool-GBS to investigate segregation bias throughout androgenesis from microspores to a population of regenerated plants. No strong bias was detected among the microspores resulting from the meiotic divisions, whereas significant biases could be shown to arise during embryo formation and plant regeneration. In summary, this methodology provides an approach to estimate allelic frequencies more efficiently and on materials that are unsuitable for individual analysis. In addition, it allowed us to shed light on the process of androgenesis in barley.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
