Pangenomic structural variant patterns reflect evolutionary diversification in Brassica napus
The goal is to perform a comprehensive pangenome-wide survey of the structural variation in Brassica napus, a recently evolved globally important allopolyploid crop, and its association with intraspecific morphotype and ecogeographical diversification. The samples used for this study includes 94 homozygous, ecogeographically diverse accessions of B. napus accessions, including winter-type, spring-type, and Asian oilseed, along with kale forms and swede/rutabaga.
