Newest firstWith the advent of long-read DNA sequencing technologies, assembling eukaryotic genomes has become routine; however, properly phasing the maternal and paternal contributions, which is of great value for breeding programs, remains technically challenging. Here, we use the trio-binning approach to separate Oxford Nanopore reads derived from a Cannabis F1 wide cross, made between the Colombian landrace Punto Rojo and…
Open article record in new tab ↗Genomic characterization of Cannabis sativa has accelerated rapidly in the last decade as sequencing costs have decreased and public and private interest in the species has increased. Here, we present seven new chromosome-level haplotype-phased genomes of C. sativa. All of these genotypes were alive at the time of publication, and several have numerous years of associated phenotype data. We performed a k-mer-based…
The reference genome of Valencia hispanica, a critically endangered actinopterygian species endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, is key to unravelling its genetic architecture and adaptation to freshwater ecosystems. This genomic resource will enable targeted conservation efforts and shed light on the species essential role in ecological dynamics, including its contributions to algal biomass regulation and role in th…
Currently, the amount of genetic data for Cannabis is lacking due to the illegal nature of the plant. Our study used 73 Cannabis sativa whole-genome shotgun libraries to reveal eight different mtDNA haplotypes. The most common haplotype contained 60 of the 73 samples studied and was composed of only dioecious individuals. However, other haplotypes contained a mix of both mating strategies (i.e. monoecious and dioe…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) is one of the oldest cultivated plants purported to have unique medicinal properties. However, scientific research of cannabis has been restricted by the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, an international treaty that prohibits the production and supply of narcotic drugs except under license. Legislation governing cannabis cultivation for research, medicinal and even recreat…
Open article record in new tab ↗Ambitious initiatives to coordinate genome sequencing of Earths biodiversity mean that the accumulation of genomic data is growing rapidly. In addition to cataloguing biodiversity, these data provide the basis for understanding biological function and evolution. Accurate and complete genome assemblies offer a comprehensive and reliable foundation upon which to advance our understanding of organismal biology at gen…
