Generation of Potato Sequence and Annotation Resources

项目负责人：C. Robin Buell（美国基因组研究所）合作负责人：Shelley H. Jansky (USDA-ARS), Bernd M. Lange（华盛顿州立大学）本项目致力于马铃薯（Solanum tuberosum L.）基因组资源的生成。通过参与国际马铃薯基因组测序联盟（PGSC），它将生成基因组调查序列和第6染色体的草图序列。该序列将与PGSC生成的其他马铃薯基因组序列一起，对基因和其他特征进行注释，并通过基于网络的门户网站提供给科学家，使科学家能够进一步开展马铃薯生物学和生产工作。代表性不足的本科生将通过特定项目的实习计划进行培训。公众将通过与美国植物园合作举办的教育展览了解基因组学，展示马铃薯和农业生产面临的挑战，以及包括基因组学在内的科学如何应对这些挑战。获取项目成果本项目的序列数据将通过Genbank （http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/Genbank/index.html）和项目网站（http://www.tigr.org/plantProjects.shtml）向公众开放，注释数据将通过项目网站提供。

PI: C. Robin Buell (Institute for Genomic Research)CO-PIs: Shelley H. Jansky (USDA-ARS), Bernd M. Lange (Washington State University)This project is focused on generating genomic resources for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Through participation in the international Potato Genome Sequencing Consortium (PGSC), it will generate Genome Survey Sequences and a draft sequence of chromosome VI. This sequence, along with other potato genome sequence generated by the PGSC, will be annotated for genes and other features, and made available through a web-based portal for scientists to enable scientists to further their work on potato biology and production. Under-represented undergraduates will be trained through a project specific internship program. The general public will be educated in genomics through an educational exhibit in collaboration with the US Botanical Garden that demonstrates challenges in potato and agricultural production and how science, including genomics, can meet these challenges. Access to project outcomesSequence data from this project will be made available to the public through Genbank (http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/Genbank/index.html) and the project website (accessible through http://www.tigr.org/plantProjects.shtml) and annotation data will be made available through the project website.
