Pan-genome of Citrullus genus highlights the extent of presence/absence variation during domestication and selection

Abstract The rich genetic diversity in Citrullus lanatus and the other six species in the Citrullus genus provides important sources in watermelon breeding. Here, we present the Citrullus genus pan-genome based on the 400 Citrullus genus resequencing data, showing that 477 Mb contigs and 6249 protei...
