Paper on sunflower linkage drag published

The paper reports on reference sequences for seven cultivated and one wild sunflower genotype, as well as improved assemblies for two additional cultivars, including HA412 HO.

Gene and transposon annotations released

The version 2.0 HA412-HO genome and latest annotations have been made public. Please use these updated resources for new studies. All data sources are available for download.

Sunflower haploblocks study published

A new study of ~1500 sunflower individuals highlights a pervasive role of structural variation in ecotypic adaptation. This work is available now. Please see the overview for a project description and data availability.

HA412-HO gene expression browser released

A new set of tools to explore gene expression by tissue is now available. Users can now customize the and export the results in multiple formats.

Genome browser updates

Many data sets and visualization improvements have been added to JBrowse, which we hope will make the data more accessible and easy to understand.

Annotation tools publicly available

In addition to making the annotation data public, much of the software written to generate the annotations is available on github.
