Eucalyptus tree species are endemic to Australia and some
islands to the north of the continent. Over the past five decades
eucalypt species and hybrids have become the most widely planted
hardwoods in the world. They are extensively planted in the tropics
and subtropics where fast-growing eucalypt plantations are supporting a
wide range of industries based on eucalypt fibre (pulp, paper,
cellulose, etc) and hardwood products (poles, construction, furniture, etc).
Their ability to produce large amounts of cellulose-rich biomass
per hectare has also identified them as potential
bioenergy crops.
The Eucalyptus grandis genome is currently being sequenced
by the Joint Genome Institute (see the
project`s
current status). This website provides temporary access to the
preliminary 8X assembly produced by JGI of the ~600 Mbp E. grandis
genome (690Mb in 6043 scaffolds). The previous 4.5X assembly is still available at this site.
Our goal is to make the genome sequence of E. grandis
widely and rapidly available to the scientific community. We endorse
the principles for the distribution and use of large-scale sequencing
data adopted by the larger genome sequencing community and urge users of
this data to follow them. It is our intention to publish the work of
this project in a timely fashion and we welcome collaborative interaction
on the project and analyses as appropriate. Our data release and publication
policy is available here.
Available Resources
The Eucalyptus genome database provides access to the following resources:
Genome scaffolds: Genome scaffolds for the 4.5X and 8X coverage preliminary genome assemblies produced by JGI.
NCBI Eucalyptus ESTs: All publicly available Eucalyptus EST data available in GenBank (21 April 2010)
NCBI Eucalyptus Nucleotides: All publicly available Eucalyptus Nucleotide data available in GenBank (21 April 2010)
Some individual EST datasets include:
Kirst (Novaes et al 2008) 454 generated E. grandis ESTs
Krauskopf (Rasmussen-Poblete et al 2008) Sanger ESTs from cold-treated E. globulus seedlings
JGI leaf tissue ESTs. 454 ESTs created by JGI from E. grandis leaf tissue.
30 July 2010: The V1.0 8X version of the Eucalyptus grandis genome release is now available from the downloads section.
EucalyptusDB will not be updated to this version since the data will be available soon via phytozome.
30 July 2010: All EST data is now available to download.
5 May 2010: The draft 8X version of the Eucalyptus grandis genome is now available.

EucalyptusDB Data Release Policy
The 4.5X and 8X preliminary assemblies of the Eucalyptus grandis
genome sequence are made freely available before scientific publication
by the Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute (DOE-JGI) and
the Eucalyptus Genome Network (EUCAGEN), with the following
understanding:
This is only a preliminary assembly. The 4.5X and 8X genome
scaffold sequences are therefore incomplete and may be inaccurate
in some places. The final assembly and annotation process is still
ongoing and will be released a timely fashion via
Phytozome.
The data may be freely downloaded, used in analyses, and repackaged
in databases. Users are free to use the data in scientific papers
analyzing particular genes and regions if the providers of this data
(DOE Joint Genome Institute and the Eucalyptus Genome Network, EUCAGEN)
are properly acknowledged.
The initial analysis of a high quality draft E. grandis genome
sequence has not yet been published. The principal investigators and
collaborators of the E. grandis Genome Project intend to publish
genome-wide analyses of features such as genes, protein families, metabolic
pathways, non-coding RNA and repetitive DNA in the main genome paper,
associated papers and in subsequent publications. Interested persons
are encouraged to contact the principle investigators
(Zander Myburg,
Dario Grattapaglia or
Jerry Tuskan) to coordinate
collaborative efforts aimed at producing such publications.
A draft outline of the main genome paper will be made available on the
EUCAGEN website. Interested groups and
persons are encouraged to now register as members on the EUCAGEN website
and to indicate their interest in contributing data and analyses
towards the main genome paper and also associated papers. Authorship
of the main genome paper will be determined by timely submission of data
and results according to the timeline provided on the EUCAGEN website and
final inclusion of such contributions by the main authors.
Any redistribution of the data should carry this notice.
