Tilin Fang et al. study the genome of Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon Pers.). They use genotyping-by-sequencing and provide a genetic map with a 10-fold increase in genetic marker density. Comparative genomics analyses reveal chromosome rearrangements. Their work will contribute to whole genome assembly efforts which will be beneficial for developing new cultivars.
