Eragrostis curvula cultivar:Victoria Genome sequencing and assembly
Here we present the first genome of E. curvula genome. The cultivar selected was a sexual diploid (620 Mb haplotype) originated from in vitro culture of inflorescences of the apomictic cv. Tanganyika (2n=4x=40). The sequencing has been done through PACBIO and after the assembly one Dovetail Chicago and one Dovetail Hi-C library was added obtaining chromosomes size contigs covering 95% of the diploid genome. The high proportion of annotated genes would allow the identification of those related to the reproductive mode. This genome is the start point to obtain more complex tetraploid genomes, harbouring the region/s involved in apomixis.
