A haploid pseudo-chromosome genome assembly for a keystone sagebrush species of western North American rangelands.
Increased ecological disturbances, species invasions, and climate change are creating severe conservation problems for several plant species that are widespread and foundational. Understanding the genetic diversity of these species and how it relates to adaptation to these stressors are necessary for guiding conservation and restoration efforts. This need is particularly...Melton, Anthony E ; Child, Andrew W ; Beard, Richard S ; Dumaguit, Carlos Dave C ; Forbey, Jennifer S …
