of the English walnut and its wild North American relative by tapping into the capabilities of two state-of-the-art technologies: long-read DNA sequencing and optical genome mapping. The resulting genome sequences are believed to be of the highest quality ever assembled of any woody perennial.
According to an article on sciencedaily.com , this approach could be applied to genome sequencing of trees and many other woody perennials, opening the door to a better understanding of the genetic bluep
