Two draft sequences of Gossypium hirsutum, the most widely cultivated cotton species, provide insights into genome structure, genome rearrangement, gene evolution and cotton fiber biology. Upland cotton is a model for polyploid crop domestication and transgenic improvement. Here we sequenced the all...
