Abstract
The woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca (2n = 2x = 14), is a versatile experimental plant system. This diminutive herbaceous
perennial has a small genome (240 Mb), is amenable to genetic transformation and shares substantial sequence identity with the
cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) and other economically important rosaceous plants. Here we report the draft F. vesca
genome, which was sequenced to ×39 coverage using second-generation technology, assembled de novo and then anchored to the
genetic linkage map into seven pseudochromosomes. This diploid strawberry sequence lacks the large genome duplications seen in
other rosids. Gene prediction modeling identified 34,809 genes, with most being supported by transcriptome mapping. Genes critical
to valuable horticultural traits including flavor, nutritional value and flowering time were identified. Macrosyntenic relationships
between Fragaria and Prunus predict a hypothetical ancestral Rosaceae genome that had nine chromosomes. New phylogenetic
analysis of 154 protein-coding genes suggests that assignment of Populus to Malvidae, rather than Fabidae, is warranted.
