GinMicrosatDb: a genome-wide microsatellite markers database for sesame (Sesamum indicum L.).

ABSTRACT: Molecular breeding in sesame is still at infancy due to limited number of microsatellite markers available and the low level of polymorphism exhibited by them. Therefore, whole genome sequencing was used for development of microsatellite markers so as to ensure availability of substantial number of polymorphic markers for use in marker assisted breeding programs. Whole genome sequencing of sesame variety 'Swetha' was done using Illumina paired-end sequencing and Roche 454 shotgun sequencing technologies (GCA_000975565.1 in GenBank). 'GinMicrosatDb', a genome-wide microsatellite marker database has been developed using the whole genome sequence data of sesame variety 'Swetha'. The database consists of microsatellites localized on both linkage groups and scaffolds with their genomic co-ordin
