Abstract excerpt
White oak (Quercus alba) is an abundant forest tree species across eastern North America that is ecologically, culturally, and economically important. We report the first haplotype-resolved chromosome-scale genome assembly of Q. alba and conduct comparative analyses of genome structure and gene content against other published Fagaceae genomes. We investigate the genetic diversity of this widespread species and...
