Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is an oilseed crop with complex genetics, originating from hybridization between Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea . Advances in long-read sequencing have led to pan-genome studies that capture species-wide genetic diversity. Graph-based pan-genomes effectively reveal structural variants (SVs), crucial for crop domestication, trait improvement, and gene expression. In this study, researchers constructed a graph-based pan-genome for B. napus using 8 new and 13-15 existing genomes. They found that TE-related SVs significantly alter gene expression and identified SVs linked to traits like seed oil content and seed coat thickness, highlighting SVs' impact on B. napus improvement.
