The globe artichoke microsatellite database

The first high-quality genome assembly of the globe artichoke has been recently produced at the DISAFA (Plant Genetics and Breeding) at Torino, Italy, within the Compositae Genome Project. Pseudomolecules as well as unmapped scaffolds were used for the bulk mining of SSR markers and for the construction of the first globe artichoke microsatellite marker database. CyMSatDB (Cynara cardunculus MicroSatellite DataBase - available at www.artichokegenome.unito.it) is an user-friendly and freely accessible tool, which offers chromosome wise as well as location wise search of primers by implementing Primer3.
