Abstract excerpt
Allopolyploidy is an important force in plant evolution, yet studying natural allopolyploid species remains challenging due to the complexity of their genetic architecture and a lack of reference genomes. A major obstacle is the accurate phasing of subgenomes, which is a prerequisite for the application of diploid-based population genetic tools. Here, we developed allosplitter, a novel bioinformatic tool that...
