Genome structure variation analyses of peach reveal population dynamics and a 1.67 Mb causal inversion for fruit shape.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Structural variations (SVs), a major resource of genomic variation, can have profound consequences on phenotypic variation, yet the impacts of SVs remain largely unexplored in crops. RESULTS: Here, we generate a high-quality de novo genome assembly for a flat-fruit peach cultivar and produce a comprehensive SV map for peach, as a high proportion of genomic sequence is occupied by heterozygous SVs in...
