Abstract: Black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) is an important but underutilized specialty fruit crop in the US Pacifi c Northwest that is closely related to the globally commercial red raspberry. In the paper VanBuren et al. report the draft genome of black raspberry. These genomic resources provide a useful reference for the comparative genomics community and will help expedite breeding efforts in raspberry, blackberry, and other Rubus cultivars. This cover depicts the merging of traditional breeding with genomics for future improvement. A picture of ripening black raspberry fruits and a Circos plot comparing genome collinearity between black raspberry and strawberry are shown.
