Citrus Genomes project on TMCnet.com

The sweet orange joins the growing list of plant genomes sequenced using next-generation 454 Sequencing Systems. Throughout just the last year, international research teams announced the draft sequences of the apple, cassava, soybean, wheat, wild strawberry, and cacao genomes, representing some of the most economically important crops for global food supply.

Citrus Genomes Announcement on Enhanced Online News

Researchers from the International Citrus Genomics Consortium announced this weekend at the Plant and Animal Genome (PAG) XIX conference in San Diego, California the availability of the sequence assembly and annotation of the first citrus genomes, the sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) and the Clementine mandarin (Citrus clementina). The sweet orange genome was sequenced and analyzed… [Read More]

Citrus Genome Sequences on GenomeWeb Daily News

For the sweet orange sequencing project, which was spearheaded by researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute, the University of Florida, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and 454 Life Sciences, the team used the Roche 454 GS FLX and FLX Titanium platforms to tackle the 320 million base genome of the Ridge… [Read More]

Peach genome project on GenomeWeb

An international research group has published a draft genome of a Lovell peach variety of Prunus persica, researchers involved in the project said today. The International Peach Genome Initiative (IPGI) has released online a high-quality draft with assembled scaffolds covering nearly 99 percent of the peach genome, the researchers said. P. persica is considered one… [Read More]

Peach genome project on GDR

At the Plant and Animal Genome XV Meeting on 01/16/07, Jerry Tuskan from the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) announced plans to sequence the peach genome. Since then, an international consortium (IPGI) coalesced to do the work cooperatively. This consortium, under the direction of Drs Bryon Sosinski, Ignazio Verde and Daniel Rokhsar, includes numerous researchers from… [Read More]

Cassava research on InSequence

Recently, UA researchers won a $1.3 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to lead an international consortium that is developing a genome variation database for cassava that aims to provide breeding tools to farmers for improving the plant and its disease resistance. The genome of the cassava, or Manihot esculenta, was sequenced… [Read More]

“U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute releases expanded version of Phytozome.net, clearinghouse for comparative plant genomics data”

An enhanced version of Phytozome.net, a web portal for comparative plant genomics geared to advance biofuel, food, feed, and fiber research, has been released by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI). Phytozome provides a central “hub” for web access to a rapidly growing number of plant genomes, and includes tools for… [Read More]

“Expanded Version of Phytozome.net Released by DOE JGI”
