Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for massively parallel base editing in the genome of an organism, such as a plant. Multiple loci are selected based on one or more specific criteria, such as evolutionary conservation, recombination frequency, nonsense mutations, and/or missense mutations. Predictive models for deleterious alleles and biologically-informed phenotype prediction may be developed and refined based on the editing results, and improved plant lines for commercial or breeding purposes may be obtained.

Abstract: Methods and compositions to impute or predict genotype, haplotype, molecular phenotype, agronomic phenotypes, and/or coancestry are provided. Methods and compositions provided include using latent space to generate latent space representations or latent vectors that are independent of underlying genotypic or phenotypic data. The methods may include generating a universal latent space representation by encoding discrete or continuous variables derived from genotypic or phenotypic data into latent vectors through a machine learning-based encoder framework. Provided herein are universal methods of parametrically representing genotypic or phenotypic data obtained from one or more populations or sample sets to impute or predict a genotype or phenotype of interest.
