An improved reference of the PN40024 grapevine genome assembly (PN40024.v4) and annotations

Here, we provide an improved version of the PN40024 genome assembly, called PN40024.v4, which combines the top-quality Sanger contigs from the 12X version with Pacific Biosciences long reads (Sequel SMRT). Along with this new assembly, we also provide a new version of the gene annotation, called PN40024.v4.1 based on a newly developed annotation workflow and RNA-Seq/proteins datasets. Then, the gene annotation version PN40024.v4.3 was generated. This was generated from version PN40024.v4.1, and the structure of multiple gene family catalogues was curated using the Apollo tool (manual curation of a set of genes of functional interest to the community).
