Chromosome-scale genome sequencing and assembly of Gossypium hirsutum TM-1 using high-depth long PacBio reads and Hi-C technologies

Here, we sequenced and assembled AD-genome G. hirsutum (Texas Marker-1, TM-1) by integrating SMRT long-read sequencing, paired-end sequencing and Hi-C technologies. The new assembled genomes improve contiguity by reducing at least three-fold gaps with respect to previously released assemblies. If you use these data, please cite the paper: Huang G. et al. Genome sequence of Gossypium herbaceum and genome updates of Gossypium arboreum and Gossypium hirsutum provide insights into cotton A-genome evolution. Nature Genetics, 2020.
