PeanutBase has transitioned to a new technology format. All updates are now at the new site still under development. Please visit the new site and give us your feedback. The legacy site is still available at legacy.peanutbase.org.

  • The genome of Arachis cardenasii, a relative of cultivated peanut, has been sequenced and is available here (with some usage restrictions) at the PeanutBase Data Store. This diploid wild species has been used as an important source of disease resistance in cultivated tetraploid peanut. Genome sequencing was funded by the USDA (Dr. Brian Scheffler leading), under the scientific guidance of Drs. David and Soraya Bertioli and colleagues.
