A Gapless T2T Genome and Population-Scale Resequencing of Adzuki Bean Reveal Centromere Evolution and Accelerate Molecular Breeding

Abstract The adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) is an economically and nutritionally significant legume species. Using a multi-strategy sequencing approach, a gapless, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of an elite cultivar, Jihong 16 (JH16), was generated. The genome size was...
