The whole genome shotgun sequencing phase of C. remanei has
been completed and the ~1.43 million reads can be searched using BLAST.
Fosmid end reads are in progress to be followed by 2 rounds of
automated finishing, which should result in a high-quality draft
assembly by the end of the summer. C. japonica and
CB5161 are being backcrossed and checked for heterozygosity.
They are scheduled for whole genome shotgun sequencing in August and
December.
