Phased diploid genome assemblies and pan-genomes provide insights into the genetic history of apple domestication

Abstract Domestication of the apple was mainly driven by interspecific hybridization. In the present study, we report the haplotype-resolved genomes of the cultivated apple ( Malus domestica cv. Gala) and its two major wild progenitors, M. sieversii and M. sylvestris . Substantial variations are ide... View More
