Genome assembly with in vitro proximity ligation data and whole-genome triplication in lettuce

Genome assembly for many plant species can be challenging due to large size and high repeat content. Here, the authors usein vitroproximity ligation to assemble the genome of lettuce, revealing a family-specific triplication event and providing a comprehensive reference genome for a member of the Co...
