Date: 30.9.2009
The **Potato Genome Sequencing Consortium (PGSC)**, an international team of scientists from industry and academia in 14 countries, has released a draft sequence of the potato genome with the help of a Virginia Tech researcher.
Thanks to a new computer program developed by the Beijing Genomics Institute, the **potato genome** assembly, which is publicly available on the PGSC website (http://www.potatogenome.net/), covers 95 percent of potato genes.
