Genomic Analyses Provide Insights Into the Evolutionary History and Genetic Diversity of Auricularia Species

Species in the genus Auricularia play important roles for people's food and nutrition especially Auricularia cornea and A. heimuer. To understand their evolutionary history, genome structure, and population-level genetic variation, we performed a high-quality genome sequencing of Auricularia cornea and the corresponding comparative genomic analysis. The genome size of A. cornea was similar to Auricularia subglabra, but 1.5 times larger than that...
