Abstract excerpt
Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) is an economically important vegetable crop with notable medicinal properties, yet its genetic improvement has been hindered by limited genomic resources and insufficient functional genomics tools. Here, we present a comprehensive genomic and functional resource platform to address these limitations. Using PacBio HiFi and Oxford Nanopore ultra-long sequencing technologies...
