Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The maize inbred line A188 is an attractive model for elucidation of gene function and improvement due to its high embryogenic capacity and many contrasting traits to the first maize reference genome, B73, and other elite lines. The lack of a genome assembly of A188 limits its use as a model for functional studies. RESULTS: Here, we present a chromosome-level genome assembly of A188 using long reads...
