Researchers from the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, together with other researchers accomplished an assembly of the genome on chromosomes at the scale of the d’Anjou pear. It is an important cultivar belonging to the European pear (Pyrus communis) in the Rosaceae family.

The genus includes both wild and cultivated species. It is separated in European and Asian categories that split around three million years long ago. This genus comprises at most 26 species as well as 10 natural hybrids that are interspecific, spread across Western as well as Eastern Asia, Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
