Abstract:
State‐of‐the‐art technologies and assembly methods were used to generate a reference genome sequence of cowpea, a drought‐resilient crop on which millions of people in sub‐Saharan Africa depend as a source of protein. This sequence facilitated the identification of: repetitive elements and gene families expanded in cowpea compared with other closely related legumes; a large and apparently rare chromosomal inversion; and an interesting candidate gene that is associated with several domestication‐related traits.
