Abstract
Releasing of the Brassica rapa var. Chiifu genome provided a reference for genome evolution research, gene discovery and breeding of Brassica crops. However, because of the limitation of the current technology, there is still a great space for the genome to be improved. These include increasing of the assembled repeat sequences, anchoring of the assemblies, accuracy of the predicted gene models and annotation of functional genome elements. More genomes of relative species were released. Comparative genomics genomes should be conducted to understand the B. rapa genome under a wider background. The reference genome provided possibilities to explore the genetic variation in B. rapa by GWAS. But large scale genome wide SNPs have to be generated. Extensive application of the genome data needs also improvement of the genome database.
