BioProject: PRJNA360920
The enormous diversity of maize is reflected by a large number of SNPs and substantial structural variation. To remedy the scarcity of sequence resources for the Flint pool, a reference sequence was generated de novo from inbred line EP1. The EP1 reference sequence complements the maize pan-genome with European Flint diversity.<br><br>This project is part of the European Maize project (http://www.europeanmaize.net/). This work was funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection (Project BayKlimaFit; http://www.bayklimafit.de/)

BioSample: SAMN06216638

Assembly and sequencing:
<u>Assembly methods:</u> NRGene de novo assembly. The assembly was done using DeNovoMAGIC 2.0 after which NRGene’s internal maize ancestral genome was used to build pseudo chromosomes from the de novo assembled scaffolds.<br><u>Construction of pseudomolecules:</u> Yes
<u>Sequencing technologies:</u> Illumina technologies<br><u>Sequencing method:</u> Illumina technologies
