D. oleifera is a large canopy emergent tree growing up to 40m. The fruit is a one seeded drupe of 4 to 6 cm length and 3 cm width. Seeds are 3 to 3.5 cm long and 1.2 to 1.5 cm wide and surrounded by a brown seedcoat. Flowering period starts in July ending in February while fruiting period is from September to April (STEVENS et al. 2001). Fruits are dispersed by large frugivorous bats that take the fruits to roosting sites where they feed on the pulp and drop the seeds and by terrestrial mammals like agoutis or squirrels hoarding and burying seeds (RUIZ 2008)
Since there is no available reference genome currently, we adopted Cogent pipeline to assemble a "fake genome" and used SUPPA to analyze Alternative Splicing events from Iso-Seq data (SRP079907). For details, see reference or click the pipeline tab from the navigation bar.
The genome assembled by Cogent included 27,790 sequences, and we found 44,212 transcripts and 2,828 Alternative Splicing events.
