Abstract
In order to accelerate basic and applied researches that involve genetic improvement through molecular breeding, comprehensive analyses of genes and the genome of Jatropha curcas have been conducted using both conventional and advanced technologies. The first publicly available draft sequence of the genome of J. curcas was reported in 2011, and an updated genome sequence, which is 297 Mb long and covers 99% of the euchromatic regions of the genome, was released in 2012. This genome sequence information has served as a reference for transcriptome analysis and the creation of SSR and SNP markers. The latest genome sequence information with longer scaffold length is now available, and most of the scaffolds have been anchored on the genetic linkage map. The genomic sequence and linkage map provide a valuable resource for basic and applied researches on J. curcas as well as comparative genomic analysis.
