Oxalis oulophora isolate:UW-Madison-01 Genome sequencing. Oxalis oulophora isolate:UW-Madison-01

This genome assembly of the diploid species Oxalis oulophora provides valuable insights into the evolutionary relationship between O. oulophora and Oxalis tuberosa, an octoploid species widely cultivated for its edible tubers. As a close relative of O. tuberosa, the O. oulophora genome contributes to the long-term research efforts aimed at identifying the potential progenitors of O. tuberosa. This assembly will be instrumental in comparative genomics and evolutionary studies, shedding light on the origins and domestication of O. tuberosa.
