A high-quality apple genome assembly reveals the association of a retrotransposon and red fruit colour

Existing apple genome assemblies all derive from Golden Delicious. Here, the authors combine different sequencing technologies to assemble a high quality genome of an anther-derived homozygous genotype HFTH1 and find the association of a retrotransposon and red fruit colour.
