Members of the genus Juglans are monecious wind-pollinated trees in the family Juglandaceae with highly heterozygous genomes, which greatly complicates genome sequence assembly. The genomes of interspecific hybrids are usually comprised of haploid genomes of parental species. We exploited this attribute of interspecific hybrids to avoid heterozygosity and sequenced an interspecific hybrid Juglans microcarpa × J. regia using a novel combination of single-molecule sequencing and optical genome mapping technologies. This represents Juglans microcarpa isolate 31.01, the maternal pseudohaplotype. PRJNA413991 represents Juglans regia cultivar Serr, the paternal pseudohaplotype. Less...
