Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1. Develop a Genomic BAC library: Entire sweet cherry genome or DNA from Stella (self-fertile progenitor of many new varieties) will be captured in manageable parts of small size using established methods (with Amplicon Express as collaborators). 2. Establish a scaffold to reconstruct the sweet cherry genome: By utilizing a proprietary method of sequencing using techniques developed for apple genome, rapidly generate a scaffold to reconstruct the sweet cherry genome.
