This v1.1 annotation release is on genome assembly v1.0, a high-quality version of the Gossypium hirsutum genome sequenced from high-quality large-molecule genomic DNA of G. hirsutum L. acc. TM-1, the same genotype that was used to construct the physical map and sequence BAC ends (Saski et al. in review). The genome was sequenced with a combination of PACBIO RSII long reads and Illumina read pairs. An additional 110 offspring from a TM-1 x 3-79 (Gossypium barbadense L. acc. 3-79) cross were resequenced with Illumina. The release utilized synteny from the published G. hirsutum assembly (Zhang et al. 2015 Nature Biotechnology 33:531) and included integration of BAC end sequences and physical maps (Saski et al. 2017, in revision) and additional screening of small repetitive scaffolds.
