Goals / Objectives
The objective for this work will be to identify candidate genes that underly huanglongbing (HLB) resistance in Australian limes.
Methods (unparsed)
The following approach will be undertaken: 1) Synteny analysis of the three genomes in comparison to citrus reference genome; 2) Assessment of genome structures including potential gaps, rearrangements, inversions, or swaps; 3) Genome annotation using established pipelines as well as RNAseq data when available; and 4) Creation of formatted genome files and gff annotation files to enable genome visualization and browsing.
