The Cotton and contig-building materials are the product of a collaboration between the Genetic Science Learning Center at the University of Utah and Joshua Udall at Brigham Young University.
Funding was provided by the National Science Foundation Plant Genome Research Program, Award #1339412: Structural Variation of Diploid and Polyploid Plant Genomes. These materials were developed as part of Dr. Udall's Broader Impacts.
