Phoenix dactylifera Genome sequencing
Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar has sequenced the genome of Date Palm, khalas cultivar, by whole genome shotgun sequencing to 25X coverage. The sequenced genome will help in complete understanding of date palm genetics and also aid in developing high yielding, disease resistant cultivars.
The accession and its GCC connection are verified. Registration alone does not establish that the broader research programme remains active.
