Whole-genome sequencing for Japanese wine grape cultivar Koshu

A grape (Vitis vinifera) is a fruit of the deciduous woody vines of the flowering plant. This research performed whole-genome sequencing to characterize Japanese wine grape cultivar Koshu. Although the reference genome of European wine grape cultivar Pinot Noir has already released on the public database, the sequencing run paired-end 2 x 100 bp using GAIIx to investigate deeper and broader genomic variations. The sequenced total bases have an average coverage of approximately 57.
