Four new genetic maps and 50 new QTLs from Li et al. 2021 were added to CottonGen.
2386 CottonGen in-silico identified QTLs added to AD1-UTX_v2.1 genome and viewable on JBrowse.
The steps of the in-silico identification are:
1. Identify marker positions on the AD1-UTX_v2-1 genome
1a. by BLAST search marker primers (view HERE for details)
1b. by BLAT search marker sequences (view Here or HERE for details)
CottonGen functional annotations were added to K.cookei,
Training video: How to Search and Downoad Protein Sequences available.
Three G.hirsutum cultivars' genome assembly and gene annotation datasets from Phytozome are available to access or download at CottonGen. They are:
Three Kokia species assembly and gene annotation datasets (Kayal, et al.2024) are available for access or download. They are:
Kokia cookei 'WAI 16c69' genome ISU_v1
