Genome-wide comparison reveals large structural variants in the cassava landraces Authors

<p><span>Structural variants (SVs) are critical for plant genomic diversity and phenotypic variation. This study investigates a large, 9.7 Mbp highly repetitive segment on chromosome 12 of <em><span>TMEB117</span></em>, a region not previously characterized in cassava. We aim to explore its presence and variability across multiple cassava landraces, providing insights into its genomic significance and potential implications.</span></p>
