Abstract There is an increasing awareness that as a result of structural variation, reference sequence representing genome single individual unable to capture all the gene repertoire found in species. A large number genes affected by presence/absence and copy variation suggest it may contribute phenotypic agronomic trait diversity. Here we show analysis Brassica oleracea pangenome nearly 20% are variation. Several displaying annotated with functions related major traits, including disease resistance, flowering time, glucosinolate metabolism vitamin biosynthesis.
