Flash Report: a soft genome

Here we go with a new category of posts on this blog: Flash Reports. Whenever we want to share an interesting news article with our readers but we do not have time to write a post for the NGS blog, we will create a "Flash Report" with a brief description and the link to the original article.

We start with a Flash Report about the release of the first ‘gold-standard’ genome sequence for Gossypium raimondii, the New World cotton progenitor. Interestingly, 49 additional cotton species will follow.
