Abstract:
The 'Red Fuji' apple (Malus domestica), is one of the most important and popular economic crops worldwide in the fruit industry. Using PacBio HiFi long reads and Hi-C reads, we assembled a high-quality haplotype-resolved genome of 'Red Fuji', with sizes of 668.7 and 668.8 Mb, and N50 sizes of 34.1 and 31.4 Mb. About 97.2% of sequences were anchored in 34 chromosomes. We annotated both haploid genomes, identifying a total of 95,439 protein-coding genes in the two haplotype genomes, with 98% functional annotation. The haplotype-resolved genome of 'Red Fuji' apple stands as a precise benchmark for an array of analyses, such as comparative genomics, transcriptomics, and allelic expression studies. This comprehensive resource is paramount in unraveling variations in allelic expression, advancing quality improvements, and refining breeding efforts.
