Utilization of Tissue Ploidy Level Variation in de Novo Transcriptome Assembly of Pinus sylvestris Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Compared to angiosperms, gymnosperms lag behind in the availability of assembled and annotated genomes. Most genomic analyses in gymnosperms, especially conifer tree species, rely on the use of de novo assembled transcriptomes. However, the level of allelic redundancy and transcript fragmentation in these assembled transcriptomes, and their effect on downstream applications have not been fully investigated. Here, we assessed three assembly ...
