Genome Sequence of Glycine tomentella 2n=80

Glycine tomentella, one of the 27 wild perennial relatives of cultivated soybean (Glycine max), possesses genetic diversity and agronomically favorable traits that are lacking in soybean. The goal of this project is to assemble a draft of the 2.1 Gb G. tomentella genome. The whole genome sequence and annotation of G. tomentella is expected to provide a valuable source of alternative alleles and novel genes to facilitate soybean improvement.

赖氨酸毛叶草（Glycine tomentella），作为栽培大豆（Glycine max）的27个野生多年生近缘种之一，蕴含丰富的遗传多样性和农业上优异性状，这些性状在栽培大豆中尚属缺失。本项目的目标是构建赖氨酸毛叶草2.1 Gb基因组草图。预期赖氨酸毛叶草的全基因组序列及其注释将为大豆改良提供宝贵的等位基因和新型基因资源。
