About Arabidipsis lyrata
Arabidopsis lyrata is a small perenial outcrossing brassica that is distributed within Eastern Asia, Europe and Northwestern America. A close relative of the dicot model, Arabidopsis thaliana, A. lyrata has a genome size of 1.5x that of A.thaliana, and a haploid chromosme number of 8.
Genome Sequencing and Annotation (Release Araly1.1)
The genome was assembled by the Stanford Human Genome Center with assistance from the A. lyrata community, and annotated by the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (JGI) using collaborator-submitted data, custom JGI analyses, and the automated JGI Annotation Pipeline. Sequencing followed a whole genome shotgun strategy and achieved an average genome coverage of 8x. The 206.7Mbp Araly1 assembly contains 695 nuclear scaffolds and is predicted to have approximately 32,670 genes. [more]
