De novo genome assembly and transcriptome of wild carrot (Daucus carota) accession PI 652213
This project aims to construct a high-quality de novo reference genome for the wild carrot (Daucus carota) accession PI 652213 (syn. 93 Kaz, 39-07, Ames 21515, IT330998) originating from Kazakhstan. To achieve a chromosome-scale assembly, we generated comprehensive sequencing data including PacBio HiFi long reads, Dovetail Omni-C, and Illumina short reads. Furthermore, RNA-seq data from root and leaf tissues were generated for accurate gene annotation. This genomic resource will provide valuable insights into the genetic diversity of wild carrots and serve as a fundamental reference for carrot research and agricultural breeding programs.
