Solanum lycopersicum is the common tomato. It has a diploid genome with 12 pair of chromosomes and a genome size of 950 Mb. The tomato genome is expected to work as a model reference for the Solanaceae family. The objectives of the Indian Initiative for Tomato Genome Sequencing at NRCPB are: |
||||
|
|
To produce a high quality sequence of the gene rich 5 Mb euchromatin of the long arm of chromosome 5. |
|||
|
To process and annotate this sequence in a manner consistent and compatible with similar data from Arabidopsis, rice and other plant species. |
||||
|
Submission of sequence information to an international bioinformatics portal for comparative Solanaceae genomics, to make the information available to research community. |
||||
|
To identify agronomically important genes from tomato genome. |
