Bananas (Musa spp.) are one of the world's most important fruit crops, and play a vital role for food security in many developing countries. Most of banana cultivars are triploids derived after inter- and intra-specific hybridizations of the wild diploid ancestor species Musa acuminate (AA) and M. balbisiana (BB). Here, we report two haplotype-resolved genome assemblies of representative AAB cultivated types (Plantain and Silk) and precisely characterize ancestral contributions by examining ancestry mosaics across the genome...
