Mikan Genome Database (MiGD): integrated database of genome annotation, genomic diversity, and CAPS marker information for mandarin molecular breeding.

ABSTRACT: Citrus species are some of the most valuable and widely consumed fruits globally. The genome sequences of representative citrus (e.g., Citrus clementina, C. sinensis, C. grandis) species have been released but the research base for mandarin molecular breeding is still poor. We assembled the genomes of Citrus unshiu and Poncirus trifoliata, two important species for citrus industry in Japan, using hybrid de novo assembly of Illumina and PacBio sequence data, and developed the Mikan Genome Database (MiGD). The assembled genome sizes of C. unshiu and P. trifoliata are 346 and 292 Mb, respectively, similar to those of citrus species in public databases; they are predicted to possess 41,489 and 34,333 protein-coding genes in their draft ge
