Gene clustering and copy number variation in alkaloid metabolic pathways of opium poppy
The opium poppy has been a source of painkilling drugs synthesized by the benzylisoquinoline alkaloid pathway. Here, the authors report an improved genome assembly and reveal gene clustering and copy number variation in alkaloid metabolic pathways.
