Reference quality, Chromosome level, Genome Assemblies of Nicotiana benthamiana LAB and QLD
As a public service we, the Nicotiana benthamiana Sequencing Consortium, have generated high quality genome assemblies for both the LAB strain and the wild QLD strain of N. benthamiana (details published August 2023 in Nature Plants (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41477-023-01489-8) and provide an interactive Web Apollo genome browser platform for these genomes (to access click appropriate button below).
The most recent versions available are 3.6 for the LAB strain and 1.83 for the QLD strain.
