Whole-genome resequencing of Castanea species

This project performed whole-genome resequencing on wild American chestnut (Castanea dentata), Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima), Japanese chestnut (Castanea crenata), European chestnut (Castanea sativa), Allegheny chinquapin (Castanea pumila), Ozark chinquapin (Castanea ozarkensis), Alabama chinquapin (Castanea alabamensis), Chinese chinquapin (Castanea henryi), and Seguin chestnut (Castanea seguinii). The goal of this project is to explore the patterns of genomic diversity within wild American chestnut populations and evaluate the phylogenetic relationships between Castanea species.

本项研究对野生美国水曲柳（Castanea dentata）、中国水曲柳（Castanea mollissima）、日本水曲柳（Castanea crenata）、欧洲水曲柳（Castanea sativa）、阿勒格尼山核桃（Castanea pumila）、奥扎克山核桃（Castanea ozarkensis）、阿拉巴马山核桃（Castanea alabamensis）、中国山核桃（Castanea henryi）以及塞居因山核桃（Castanea seguinii）进行了全基因组重测序。该研究旨在探究野生美国水曲柳种群中基因组多样性的模式，并评估 Castanea 属物种之间的系统发育关系。
