Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important clonally propagated food crop in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Genetic gain by molecular breeding has been limited, partially because cassava is a highly heterozygous crop with a repetitive and difficult-to-assemble genome. FINDINGS: Here we demonstrate that Pacific Biosciences high-fidelity (HiFi) sequencing reads, in combination with the...
