Gossypium hirsutum is the leading fiber crop globally, but its origin as a domesticated plant and patterns of diversity in the wild remain to be elucidated. Here, we use extensive sampling of wild populations and comparative genome sequence data to illuminate the scope and patterning of wild cotton diversity across its native range. Analyses confirm the hypothesis that the Yucatán Peninsula (México) is the center...
