# In depth exploration of the genomic diversity in tea varieties based on a newly constructed pangenome of *Camellia sinensis*


## Study description

Pan‐genomes aim to address the presence-absence and copy number variation as well as structural variation within species for improved genomic analyses. A new pan‐genome, constructed from de novo genome assemblies of 3 diverse tea accessions was merged with eight existing accessions using a novel consistent gene and transposon annotation to provide a consistent resource.
