Genome organization of cultivated flax and its wild relatives
Members of different sections of the genus Linum are characterized by wide variability in size, morphology, and number of chromosomes in karyotypes. Such variability is largely determined by the amount and composition of repeated sequences in the genomes. Therefore, in order to perform a comparative analysis of the repeatomes of different flax species, we conducted high-throughput whole genome sequencing of 5 species from 4 sections belonging to the clade of blue-flowered flaxes of the genus Linum.
