Gap-free telomere-to-telomere assemblies for Glycine soja SoyW02 and Glycine max Zhonghuang 13 substantially resolve repeat-rich regions and complete organelle genomes.
- Why it matters: Repeat-rich plant genomes and mitochondrial sequences have remained difficult to assemble gap-free, limiting access to subtelomeric, satellite, and duplication features.
- What they did: The study generated T2T nuclear assemblies plus complete mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes, then compared genomes to map subtelomeric exchange hubs and satellite repeat landscapes.
- The result: It identified a conserved subtelomeric exchange hub, refined pericentromere-enriched and chromosome-specific satellites, and used a tandem-duplication pipeline to show expression and functional diversification between two duplicated oxidosqualene cyclases.
