Telomere-to-telomere genome assembly research opens the door to new crop varieties

Summary of different strategies for developing T2T genome assemblies. Credit: Genetics of Nature (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41588-024-01830-7 Entirely new crop varieties that can better withstand drought, salt and pests are within reach thanks to international genomic research published today in Genetics of Nature. The study, “Unlocking plant genetics with telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies,” was led by researchers … Read more
