Establishing minion sequencing and genome assembly procedures for the analysis of the rooibos (aspalathus linearis) genome
Mgwatyu, Yamkela; Cornelissen, Stephanie; van Heusden, Peter (MDPI, 2022)While plant genome analysis is gaining speed worldwide, few plant genomes have been sequenced and analyzed on the African continent. Yet, this information holds the potential to transform diverse industries as it unlocks ... -
Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) genome size estimation using flow cytometry and k-mer analyses
Mgwatyu, Yamkela; Stander, Allison Anne; Ferreira, Stephan (MDPI, 2020)Plant genomes provide information on biosynthetic pathways involved in the production of industrially relevant compounds. Genome size estimates are essential for the initiation of genome projects. The genome size of rooibos ...
