Coffea arabica is an allotetraploid hybrid of C. eugenioides and C. canephora and contributes to approximately 60% of world coffee production. Here, the authors report its chromosome-level genome assembly and identify that chromosomal abnormalities and introgression from C. canephora may contribute to diversity and pathogen resistance.
