Multilocus Haplotyping by Parallel Sequencing to Decipher the Interspecific Mosaic Genome Structure of Cultivated Citrus by Curk, Franck, Ancillo, Gema, García-Lor, Andrés, Luro, Francois, Perrier, Xavier, Jacquemoud-Collet, Jean-Pierre, Navarro, Luis, Ollitrault, Patrick

“…Breeding of these species is hampered by their complex heterozygous genomic structures. Haplotyping of multiple gene fragments along the genome should be a powerful approach to resolve the evolutionary history of the gene pools, to reveal the admixture genomic structure of current species and to develop innovative breeding schemes. …”
