A. arenosa sequencing project

Overview(Edit)

The polyploid (4n) Arabaidopsis (nee Cardaminopsis) arenosa genome is being sequenced as part of the Functional Genomics of Plant Polyploids NSF Plant Genome Project # 0077774. We are using a combination of paired-end and mate-paired Illumina reads to sequence to an approximate depth of 25x. Assemblies will be generated using Velvet and comparative analyses to the Arabidopsis lyrata and thaliana genomes will be performed.

News(Edit)

June 20, 2009: Estimated 26x coverage sequence reads are now available.

Data release(Edit)

While we prepare our data for formal release into the NCBI Short Read Archive, we are making the raw reads available at this site.
