wild cannabis sativa genome project

Cannabis Sativa is one of the earliest domesticated plant species, has great economic and ecological importance. To facilitate further utilization of this plant resource, here we present the draft genome sequence for wild Cannabis Sativa of China. We provide the first comprehensive de novo genome of the wild Cannabis Sativa which distributed in Tibet of China. This genetic resource will be of great value in future investigations of the metabolic pathways of the various cannabinoid and will aid in promoting its production in commercial applications. The assembled genome will be a valuable resource enabling further genetic improvement and more effective use of Cannabis Sativa.
