title: Illumina HiSeq 3000 paired-end Sequencing of KAS22025827 (KAE22265760)
design: Coix lacryma-jobi, called adlay or Yulmu, is an annual herbal plant belonging to the Poaceae family and has been cultivated as cereal and medicinal crop in Asia.  Current genomic resources for C. lacryma-jobi varieties, in particular, var. ma-yuen (soft-shelled adlay), are insufficient for breeding and molecular based investigations, as compared to other Panicoideae species, such as maize, sorghum, and foxtail millet, whose genomes have been sequenced.  To address this, the adlay genome sequencing project was initiated in 2018 as a part of the National Agricultural Genome Program (NAGP) in Korea. The aim of this initiative is to determine the genome sequence, genetic map, and transcriptome profile of soft-shelled adlay and thereby support comprehensive studies for molecular breeding, biotechnological approaches, and pharmacological research on this plant species.
