Lactuca super-pangenome reduces bias towards reference genes in lettuce research
The super-pangenome offers a broader view on the gene repertoire of lettuce, revealing relevant loci that are not in the reference genome(s). The provided methodology and data provide a strong basis for research into PAVs, CNVs and other variation underlying important biological traits of lettuce and other crops.
