A chromosome-scale genome assembly of the Swiss Lolium multiflorum ecotype Tremona reveals a scalable method to purge spurious duplications
Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) is a key temperate forage species underpinning livestock production in Europe. Genomic resources remain limited by its large (2.2 Gb), repetitive, and highly heterozygous genome. Here, we present a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly of the Swiss L. multiflorum ecotype Tremona, collected in 2008 in Ticino, Switzerland, and subsequently incorporated…
