Project name: Glycine max cultivar:Lee

Description: The aims of this project were to generate a high-quality reference genome assembly for soybean cultivar "Lee," an important southern cultivar that was released in 1958 and used as a parent in many subsequent southern soybean varieties. The assembly incorporates PacBio and Illumina sequence and optical mapping from NRGene. Pseudomolecule anchoring of scaffolds was accomplished using two dense genetic maps as well as synteny comparisons with Glycine max reference assembly for cultivar Williams 82 and Glycine soja PI PI483463.

Data type: Genome sequencing and assembly

Sample scope: Monoisolate
