Genome assembly of two allotetraploid cotton germplasms reveals mechanisms of somatic embryogenesis and enables precise genome editing
- Date: 22 July, 2025
- Journal: Nature Genetics
- Authors: Zhongping Xu, Guanying Wang, Xiangqian Zhu, Ruipeng Wang, Longfu Zhu, Lili Tu, Yuling Liu, Renhai Peng, Keith Lindsey, Maojun Wang, Xianlong Zhang & Shuangxia Jin
- Results: Here we present a telomere-to-telomere assembly of Jin668 and a high-quality assembly of YZ1, two highly regenerative allotetraploid cotton germplasms. The completion of the Jin668 genome enables characterization of ~30.1 Mb of centromeric regions invaded by centromeric retrotransposon of maize and Tekay retrotransposons, an ~8.1 Mb 5S rDNA array containing 25,190 copies and a ~75.1 Mb major 45S rDNA array with 8,131 copies.
- Keywords: Cotton, T2T-Jin668, YZ1, somatic embryogenesis (SE), genome editing

Our Contributions
Our research focuses on cotton as the primary crop and leverages synthetic biology to enhance insect resistance, herbicide tolerance, and cottonseed utilization. We design gene circuits and regulatory systems to precisely control key traits, driving innovation in sustainable cotton improvement and value-added agricultural applications.
