Hi Folks,
If you have transcriptome data for any of the Rosaceae species that you would like housed in GDR could you please contact us. Although reads are available in the NCBI SRA, access to the assemblies are not available and these are valuable resources we should make available if possible. Full credit will be given on GDR to data contributors.
Many Thanks
Dorrie
