Haplotype-resolved genome assembly of the tetraploid potato cultivar DésiréeGodec, Tim (Avtor) Beier, Sebastian (Avtor) Rodriguez-Granados, Natalia Yaneth (Avtor) Sasidharan, Rashmi (Avtor) Abdelhakim, Lamis (Avtor) Teige, Markus (Avtor) Usadel, Björn (Avtor) Gruden, Kristina (Avtor) Petek, Marko (Avtor) cultivar Désiréepotatofunctional genomicsgenome assemblyannotation pipelineDNA methylationepigeneticsCultivar Désirée is an important model for potato functional genomics studies to assist breeding strategies. Here, we present a haplotype-resolved genome assembly of Désirée, achieved by assembling PacBio HiFi reads and Hi-C scaffolding, resulting in a high-contiguity chromosome-level assembly. We implemented a comprehensive annotation pipeline incorporating gene models and functional annotations from the Solanum tuberosum Phureja DM reference genome alongside RNA-seq reads to provide high-quality gene and transcript annotations. Additionally, we provide a genome-wide DNA methylation profile using Oxford Nanopore reads, enabling insights into potato epigenetics. The assembled genome, annotations, methylation and expression data are visualised in a publicly accessible genome browser, providing a valuable resource for the potato research community.20252025-01-28 07:56:41Neznano21370sl
