Next Generation Sequencing

An international group of researchers presents here the draft sequence of the M. truncatula euchromatin. The studies are based on combined data sets from BAC assembly and Illumina shotgun sequence, in total capturing ~94% of all M. truncatula genes.
Medicago truncatula is a long-established model for legume biology studies and analysis of the genome sequence can provide valuable information.
Methods of the studies included DNA sequencing, and assembly of sequencing reads were partly done using CLC bio.
