Optical and physical mapping with local finishing enables megabase-scale resolution of agronomically important regions in the wheat genome

Abstract Background Numerous scaffold-level sequences for wheat are now being released and, in this context, we report on a strategy for improving the overall assembly to a level comparable to that of the human genome. Results Using chromosome 7A of wheat as a model, sequence-finished megabase-scale...
