EVOLVES Activity 1- Genetic consequences of structural variation in Lens species

EVOLVES Activity 1- Genetic consequences of structural variation in Lens species

Understanding the extent and consequences of structural variation in genomes of Lens species

1a) Structural variation in the genus Lens.

1b) Comparative genomics

1c) Genome graphs for variant calling 

Deliverables from Activity 1

Improved genome assemblies for precise identification of molecular markers and candidate genes

Tools to effectively communicate the potential, and consequences, of introgression breeding to the breeder
