Chinese scientists have completed fine maps of a de novo genome assembly of a pea cultivar, ZW6, which provides an improved reference genome and annotation of the pea, a recently published article on Nature Genetics showed. .

Its genome assembly and annotation were constructed based on a series of genetic sequencing technologies, featuring a 243-fold increase in contig length and evident improvements in the continuity and quality of sequence in complex repeat regions compared with the existing one, according to the article.

"The high-quality reference genome and pan-genome offer insights into pea genome evolution and domestication as well as valuable genomic resources for research in pea genetics and breeding," the article said.
