Congratulations! Nature Genetics published the high-quality research on tomato Pan-genome on April 6, 2023, which was led by Horticultural Crops Research Institute of Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and jointly completed by Institute of Shenzhen Agricultural Genomics, Institute of Crop Science, and Institute of Biotechnology of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences Research.
This study constructed 11 chromosome-level high-quality genomes of wild and cultivated tomatoes, clarified the genome evolution history of the Solanum section Lycopersion, and constructed the first tomato super pan-genome/graph genome, and further cloned a new gene in wild tomato that could greatly increase the yield of cultivated tomato. This study is not only an important supplement to tomato genome resources, but also has important enlightenment significance for other crop genomics research and the utilization of wild germplasm resources, especially related wild species.
BMKGENE is proud for having provided sequencing and bioinformatics services for this research and continues to supply trusted sequencing services to help researchers achieve their goals.
