de novo reference genome assembly of Lactuca saligna CGN05327. genome assembly of Lactuca saligna

Lactuca saligna, known as a source of broad resistance to lettuce downy mildew (Bremia lactucae Regel) is the sister of lettuce(Lactuca sativa L.). The project aims to generate a high-quality genome assembly of Lactuca saligna to provide genomic insight into resistant/tolerant traits and facilitate future lettuce breeding.
