Allele-aware chromosome-level genome assembly and efficient transgene-free genome editing for the autotetraploid cultivated alfalfa

Allele-aware chromosome-level genome assembly and efficient transgene-free genome editing for the autotetraploid cultivated alfalfa

Alfalfa is an important forage crop, but genetic improvement is challenging due to the lack of a reference genome and an efficient genome editing protocol. Here, the authors report the chromosome-level assembly of the autotetraploid genome and a CRISPR/Cas9-based transgene-free genome editing protoc...
