Long-Read Low-Pass Sequencing for High-Resolution Trait Mapping with Kendall Lee, PhD

Kendall Lee, PhD, highlights her work utilizing HiFi long-read low-pass sequencing for trait mapping and the potential for this tool in plant breeding. The team of researchers from HudsonAlpha and the University of Georgia compare the performance of HiFi sequencing against Illumina short reads for low-pass trait mapping of the peanut (Arachis hypogaea) genome. With its highly complex tetraploid genome, the peanut serves as an ideal test case for low-pass HiFi sequencing in trait mapping.
