Reference genome choice impacts SNP recovery but not evolutionary inference in young species
Luana Sousa Soares, Leonardo Tresoldi Gonçalves, Sebastián Guzmán-Rodriguez…·Loreta B. Freitas
This study evaluates how reference genome choice affects RAD-seq analyses in Petunia and Calibrachoa, finding that closely related genomes yield consistent results while distantly related ones reduce SNP recovery but not evolutionary inference.
