About Sorghum BTx623

BTx623, a diploid reference genome for Sorghum bicolor, has a genome size of 719.90 Mb and 10 haploid chromosomes. It is widely recognized as the primary reference for sorghum genetics and genomics, playing a key role in studies of C4 photosynthesis and adaptation to semi-arid conditions. The latest telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assembly offers a more complete and accurate version of the genome, filling in previously missing sequences and correcting assembly errors (Wei et al., 2024).
