The model plant Physcomitrium patens (P. patens) has played a pivotal role in enhancing our comprehension of plant evolution, growth, and development. However, the current genome harbors numerous intricate regions that remain unfinished and erroneous. To address these issues, we present an exemplary assembly of the P. patens nuclear genome, which incorporates telomeres and centromere regions, thereby establishing it as the telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome in a non-seed plant. This T2T genome not only dispels the prevailing misconception regarding chromosome number in P. patens but also provides indispensable resources for conducting in-depth studies in moss genomics and biology.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
