Conserving a threatened North American walnut: a chromosome-scale reference genome for butternut (Juglans cinerea).

Summary

Scientists created the first reference genome for a critically endangered tree species, Juglans cinerea, to study its resistance to a destructive fungus. The genome sequencing and analysis provided insights into the species' genetic evolution and potential defenses against the pathogen.
