Abstract

To shed light on the polyploidisation process of cultivated chrysanthemum we develop a high quality genome sequence of a diploid wild species as well as re-sequencing a selection of other possible progenitors of the current, economically important, hexaploid varieties. With a large and highly heterozygous genome even the diploids have to date proven difficult to assemble. Here we present a novel assembly based on long and short read sequencing technology and using polyploid aware assembly tools. We also provide some insight into how the species fit together into the larger chrysanthemum family.
