Haplotype-resolved assembly of a tetraploid potato genome using long reads and low-depth offspring data

Potato is one of the world ’s major staple crops, and like many important crop plants, it has a polyploid genome. Polyploid haplotype assembly poses a major computational challenge. We introduce a novel strateg...
