Pyrus x bretschneideri Genome sequencing and assembly
Pear (Pyrus spp.) is one of the leading cultivated fruit trees of temperate regions, and grown widely in all the continents of the world. Here we present a high-quality draft genome sequence assembly of Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd. Var. Dangshansuli, sequenced with 7.6X coverage, and demonstrate that a highly heterozygous plant genome can be assembled using a novel combination of BAC-by-BAC strategy and next generation sequencing without physical reference.
