| Description | Musa schizocarpa 'Schizocarpa' (doi:10.18730/9KW4W) (2n=22) is a wild species of banana native from New Guinea Island. The genetic signature of the species has been found in some banana cultivars.
The genome sequence was obtained using Nanopore and optical mapping technologies leading to a chromosome-scale assembly that exhibited high contig N50s (>5 Mb). A total of 32 809 protein coding genes were predicted. The genome sequencing of this species is the result of the collaboration between the French sequencing center Genoscope and CIRAD. The project was financially supported by France Génomique in the Dynamo project. |
