Ongoing Projects

1. Genome sequencing:

Eight genomes have been sequenced and published:

  • Apple-Ring Acacia (Faidherbia albida), http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/101054
  • Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea), http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/101055
  • Hyacinth Bean (Lablab purpureus), http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/101056
  • Marula (Sclerocarya birrea), http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/101057
  • Horseradish Tree (Moringa oleifera), http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/101058
  • Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), https://doi.org/10.3390/genes11010027
  • Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) https://doi.org/10.3390/genes11010027
  • African eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum), https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/giz115

Apart from these, four more genomes, of finger millet (Elusine coracana), shea (Vitellaria paradoxa), yam (Dioscorea alata), and cleome (Gyndandropsis gynandra), are being assembled and will soon be published.
