The first sequenced diploid cotton genome was published in 2012 by the group led by the Institute of Cotton Research, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Cotton genomics research subsequently entered a period of rapid development. The accumulating data have provided new insights into the evolution and domestication of cotton, the development of important agronomic traits, and strategies for improving cotton quality and production.
