So excited to share our new preprint on the chromosome-scale annotated genome assembly of Triticum timopheevii, an allotetraploid wheat wild relative species. This is the first time when the G subgenome of Triticeae has been sequenced. Check it out! 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
The assembly was done using @PacBio HiFi reads and HiC capture using the @PhaseGenomics Proximo kit. Thank you @ivanliachko @kboortz18 for your support on this. All sequencing was done by the amazing team at @Novogene_Europe. Contig N50 = 42.4 Mb and scaffold N50 = 671.1 Mb 2/
