Genome sequencing of two self-compatible quince cultivars (Fontenay and Pineapple)
This project aims to generate high-quality genome assemblies of two self-compatible quince (Cydonia oblonga) cultivars, 'Fontenay' and 'Pineapple'. Whole-genome sequencing was performed using PacBio HiFi and Oxford Nanopore long-read technologies to support genome assembly and structural characterization of the S-locus. The data will be used to investigate the genetic basis of self-compatibility in quince.
