Blueberry and cranberry pangenomes as a resource for future genetic studies and breeding efforts

This paper constructs and analyzes the first pangenomes for blueberry and cranberry, revealing high genetic diversity and identifying genes associated with disease resistance and fruit quality.

Contrasting a reference cranberry genome to a crop wild relative provides insights into adaptation, domestication, and breeding

The paper compares the genomes of cranberry and its wild relative to identify genomic regions associated with domestication and breeding traits.

Construction of a high-density American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) composite map using genotyping-by-sequencing for multi-pedigree linkage mapping

The paper constructs a high-density cranberry composite map using GBS and SSRs to enable molecular-assisted breeding and genomic studies.
