Salvia hispanica cultivar:TCC Black 2014 Genome sequencing and assembly. Salvia hispanica cultivar:TCC Black 2014

This project aims to generate a high quality reference genome of chia to help researchers gain an improved understanding of the functional and structural properties of genes which are linked to chia unique attributes. Utilising next generation sequencing platforms including Illumina and Oxford Nanopore technologies coupled with chromatin conformation capture (HiC) resulted in generating a chromosome-scale reference genome for a black commercial variety of chia which is commonly cultivated in Australia.
