Carrot Genome Sequencing Project

Name
Carrot Genome Sequencing Project
Type
Project
Description

The overall goal of this project is to leverage the current genetic and genomic resources in carrot to develop an integrated genomic sequence of carrot including physical map, genetic maps, transcriptomes and SNP database. An integrated and annotated genomic sequence can significantly advance our understanding of agricultural traits, increase genetic gain by making informed selections and shorten breeding cycles by incorporating marker-assisted and genomic selection strategies for breeding carrot and close relatives. Our Goal is to have an annotated sequence of carrot contig N50 30 kb and scaffold N50 of >500 kb.
