A research team from Peking University Institute of Advanced Agricultural Sciences has published a complete telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of lettuce. In a paper published in Plant Communications, the team revealed for the first time the 2.59Gb T2T complete and gap-free genome sequence of lettuce. The research also reveals the highly complex structural characteristics of the lettuce genome and the repetitive sequence characteristics of the centromere.
