The apple Genome and Epigenome

The apple Genome and Epigenome

A major limitation in the study of epigenetics in non-model organisms is the availability and the quality of the reference genome. In order to improve the apple reference genome, we have sequenced the genome of a “Golden Delicious” doubled-haploid (GDDH13) apple, using the latest Illumina, PacBio, and BioNano sequencing technologies.

In 2017, we published the reference genome and epigenome of GDDH13 (Celton, Daccord et al. 2017, Nature Genetics)
