Data types

  • Type of the Data sets submitted or expected from this group: Improved centromere maize B73 assembly sequence data
  • Short description of data: During the pilot phase of the project, the Ware Lab generated 17X coverage of the B73 assembly (V4) using the new P6 chemistry from 60X PACBio sequences. Using this information, the Presting Lab generated complimentary data and improvements to the centromere sequence. Additional improvements are expected with a new draft assembly with ~65x coverage.
