<i>Brassica rapa</i> comprises several important cultivated vegetables and oil crops. Current reference genome assemblies of <i>Brassica rapa</i> are quite fragmented and not highly contiguous, thereby limiting extensive genetic and genomic analyses. Here, we report an improved assembly of the <i>B. rapa</i> genome (v3.0) using single-molecule sequencing, optical mapping, and chromosome conformation capture technologies (Hi-C). Relative to the previous reference genomes, our assembly features a ...[more]
