Nature Papers Present Gala Apple Genome, Genome Analysis Tracks Coronavirus Spread in Israel, More

Nov 05, 2020

High-quality, phased diploid genomes for the cultivated Gala apple and two of its wild relatives are reported in Nature Genetics this week, offering insights into the genetic basis of apple domestication. In the study, a team led by scientists from the Boyce Thompson Institute assemble haplotype-resolved genomes for the Gala, a popular cultivar that is frequently used as a parental line in apple breeding, and the wild progenitors Malus sieversii and Malus sylvestris.
