Compilation of Sequenced Plant Genomes

The Genomics for Australian Plants (GAP) Steering Committee has put together a list with the following currently available information:

1. Plant Genome Assemblies supported by the GAP project
2. Publicly available Plant Genome Assemblies
3. Plant Genome projects in progress
4. Taxonomic gap analysis of Australian plant genome assemblies

If you would like to add your genome projects to this list, please contact the Project Manager (Mabel Lum) and Graham King.

Emails: mlum@bioplatforms.com, Graham.King@scu.edu.au
