Abstract:Haplotyped-resolved phased assemblies aim to capture the full allelic diversity in heterozygous and polyploid species to enable accurate genetic analyses. However, building non-collapsed references still presents a challenge. Here, we used long-range interaction Hi-C reads (high-throughput chromatin conformation capture) and HiFi PacBio reads to assemble the genome of the apomictic cultivar Basilisks fromUrochloa decumbens(2n = 4x = 36), an outcrossed tetraploid Paniceae grass widely cropped to feed livestock … Show more
