Comparative analysis using a chromosome-scale genome assembly for Funaria hygrometrica suggests greater collinearity in mosses than in seed plants

Abstract Mosses, the largest lineage of seed-free plants, have smaller and less variable genome sizes than flowering plants. Nevertheless, whether this difference results from divergent genome dynamics is poorly known. Here, we use newly generated chromosome-scale genome assemblies for Funaria hygro...
