Abstract excerpt
Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) is the second most important tropical fruit crop globally, and 'MD2' is the most important cultivated variety. A high-quality genome is important for molecular-based breeding, but available pineapple genomes still have some quality limitations. Here, PacBio and Hi-C data were used to develop a new high-quality MD2 assembly and gene prediction. Compared to the previous MD2...
