Brassica Genome

Details

Background

The first public Brassica genome, B. rapa, was published in 2011 [1]. Reference genomes followed for B. oleracea [2, 3] and B. napus [4] in 2014, and B. juncea in 2016 [5]. Since then, pangenomes built from many accessions of each species have shown that a substantial share of genes vary in presence or absence between individuals [6, 7].
