The overall objective of the GTOL project is to resolve the primary pattern of evolutionary diversification among green plants. To do this, we will generate a comprehensive dataset for over 50 exemplar taxa. This dataset will incorporate characters from morphology, ultrastructure, and both organellar genome and nuclear gene sequences.

The table below serves as a public guide to our progress, indicating the status of morphological and molecular data across all taxa. The main functions of this public database are to indicate research that is planned or in progress by our group AND by others. This should help to avoid unnecessary duplication and to foster collaboration among labs.

Key for sequencing status, order of stages:

for FACS approach: Tissue prep (processing tissue) → FACS (fluorescence activated cell sorting) → RCA (rolling-circle amplification) → CLONE (shotgun)→ SEQ (sequencing) → ASSEMBLY → ANNOTATION.

BAC Library Pipeline: PREP (Culture/Tissue Preparation) → Plugs → Clone → Array → QC (5-step QC) → Complete
