The Compositae Genome Project

CGP_footer1

CGP Objectives

  • To develop comprehensive gene catalogs and genomic sequences for economically and taxonomically important species in the Compositae.
  • To develop detailed genetic maps integrating phenotypic data for agriculturally important traits with sequenced genes.
  • To enhance the introgression of agriculturally useful alleles from wild species.
  • To establish tools and resources for the Compositae that will be the basis of genomic investigations of crops and invasive species in the family
