Introduction
With the recent release of the potato genome sequence and multiple transcriptome libraries, there is a wealth of data that may be leveraged to improve potatoes. Dr. C. Robin Buell describes the creation of these data and their potential utility. This webinar is divided into four videos.
During the introductory video, Dr. Buell reviews the approaches taken to sequence the potato genome.

During the second video, Dr. Buell describes sequencing of 45 transcriptome libraries using next generation sequencing. These libraries included transcribed sequences (e.g. mRNA) obtained from multiple stages of tuber and plant development, as well as tissue from plants under biotic and abiotic stresses. These transcriptome sequences were used to annotate the potato genome and to infer biological function. Analysis of sequence from the transcriptomes of three varieties (Snowden, Atlantic, and Premier Russet) was used to design the Solanaceae Coordinated Agricultural Project (SolCAP) potato single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array.
