An advanced reference genome ofTrifolium subterraneumL. reveals genes related to agronomic performance

Summary Subterranean clover is an important annual forage legume, whose diploidy and inbreeding nature make it an ideal model for genomic analysis in Trifolium . We reported a draft genome assembly of the subterranean clover TSU d_r1.1. Here we evaluate genome mapping on nanochannel arrays and generation of a transcriptome atlas across tissues to advance the assembly and gene annotation. Using a BioNano‐based assembly spanning 512 Mb (93% genome...
