Chromosome-scale Genome Assembly of Lewis Flax (Linum lewisii Pursh.)

Peter A. Innes, Brian C. Smart, Senta Kryzer, Nolan C. Kane, Brent S. Hulke

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Lewis flax and identifies a deletion in the TSS1 gene associated with the transition from heterostyly to homostyly.
