Automated assembly scaffolding using RagTag elevates a new tomato system for high-throughput genome editing

Abstract Advancing crop genomics requires efficient genetic systems enabled by high-quality personalized genome assemblies. Here, we introduce RagTag, a toolset for automating assembly scaffolding and patching, and we establish chromosome-scale reference genomes for the widely used tomato genotype M...
