SweetBiOmics aims to create and integrate cutting edge genomic, epigenetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic and phenotypic data with advanced statistical and bioinformatics approaches focused on the analysis of the entire Greek sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) germplasm collection.
SweetBiOmics will include a significant outreach and extension component to communicate its progress and results. The outreach plan is focused on developing materials and programming for three audiences: (a) cherry growers and processors who bring cherry products to consumers, (b) cherry breeders and geneticists, and (c) the general consuming public.
