Haplotype-Phased Chromosome-Scale Genome Assemblies of Satsuma mandarin Uncover Structural and Transcriptional Divergence Between Parental Haplotypes and Structural Variations in Mutant Lineages.
Citrus, a widely cultivated Rutaceae crop, comprises numerous varieties, among which Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.) is the most widely cultivated in Japan. In this study, a high-quality, chromosome-scale, haplotype-phased genome assembly of Satsuma mandarin ("Miyagawa wase") was generated using PacBio HiFi sequ...
