REFERENCE-QUALITY CAMELINA GENOMES

The genomes of the UNTWIST focus lines have been sequenced using Oxford Nanopore long read sequencing technology. These new chromosome-scale genome assemblies are of reference-level quality. The genome size of the camelina lines range from 640 to 650 Mb. A comprehensive pipeline was used for genome annotation, integrating both ab-initio and evidence-based approaches, predicting 98,808 to 102,312…

ADAPTABILITY TO DIFFERENT LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

UNTWIST has generated a wealth of data from the UNTWIST camelina diversity panel, which includes cultivars, breeding lines and landraces from different geographical regions. Genome sequencing of the 54 genotypes showed that the UNTWIST core collection represents the known genetic diversity of camelina. Field trials in Spain, Italy, France, and UK characterized the camelina diversity…
