Research Abstract

This research aimed at sequencing both the genome and the transcriptome of organisms that occupy pivotal position in the phylogeny to allow resolution of difficult phylogenetic problems such as deep branches with high statistical confidence. A liverwort species, Jungermannia infusca, with an estimated genome size of 386 Mb was sequenced and assembled, indicating that sequencing nuclear genome of less than 400 Mb is realistically doable, and could be less expensive than focusing RNA-seq when one want to obtain low-expression level genes and very long transcripts.
