Preface
Brassica rapa is a crop species of the genus Brassia, which belongs to the plant family Brassicaceae (Cruciferae). It has ten chromosomes (2n = 20) and is widely cultivated as oil and vegetables crop across the world. It is also one of the basic species of the other two widely cultivated crops Brassica napus and Brassica juncea. Owning to its close relationship to the model species, Arabidopsis and relatively smaller genome size among the Brassica species, it was identified as the first Brassica species to be sequenced by the BrGSP. The consortium developed a plan based on the experience of Arabidopsis genome sequencing by using BAC to BAC strategy and a complete chromosome A03 was assembled by a Korea team using this traditional sequencing technology. However, the project was finally completed by using the second generation sequencing technology, which adopted completely different assembling strategies from that of traditional Sanger sequencing. The reporting of the whole genome sequence of B. rapa in 2011 was a mi
