P2: Development of a Medicago truncatula genome browser
| Title: | Development of a Medicago truncatula genome browser |
| Mentors: | Matthew Wilkerson and Dr. Volker Brendel |
| Description: | The intern(s) will work with graduate students in our group to build MtGDB, a genome browser for Medicago (a legume being completely sequenced) modeled after our existing resources for Arabidopsis (AtGDB)and rice (OsGDB). The project encompasses both automated genome annotation (finding the genes in BAC-size Medicago genome sequences) and modifying the AtGDB/OsGDB genome browsers to fit the Medicago needs. |
