Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Heterozygous genomes are widespread in outcrossing and clonally propagated crops. However, the variation in heterozygosity underlying key agronomic traits and crop domestication remains largely unknown. Cassava is a staple crop in Africa and other tropical regions and has a highly heterozygous genome. RESULTS: We describe a genomic variation map from 388 resequenced genomes of cassava cultivars and...
