Stanford Sequenced Plant Species Project

Background, Introduction

The Sequenced Plant Species Project (SP)² is a centralized living library and online handbook of model plant species with high quality reference genome assemblies. It is the first of its kind as a botanical collection consisting of the precise genotypes/cultivars used for constructing the genome assemblies, an invaluable resource in the genomics era. The goal of the (SP)² is to serve as an educational and sampling resource for plant biologists interested in comparative genomics and transcriptomics. Living samples and seeds from the (SP)² will be distributed to several institutions, which in turn will distribute to additional colleges and universities. We anticipate that users will add to the collection with model plant species from their own institution and add relevant documentation to this website. This project is the outreach activity of Dr. Blaine Marchant's NSF Plant Genome Research Postdoctoral Award (NSF Award #1970220) and was assembled with Stanford undergraduate Megan Rogers (funded by the Stanford Biology Summer Undergraduate Research Project).
