Synopsis

The Plant Genome Research Program announces its intention to support development of sequence resources that would contribute to a conceptual framework for the interpretation of the structure, function and evolution of genomes of economically important plants. The Plant Genome Comparative Sequencing Program (PGCSP) is specifically soliciting proposals that focus on biological questions that would be enabled by a particular sequence or sequences. Sequence resources may include, but are not limited to, whole genome sequences, survey sequences, and physical maps.
