Abstract

The purpose of the copy number variation (CNV) project was to determine if there is a variation in the DNA content between tissue types of Gossypium hirsutum and Gossympium barbadense. Specifically if the cotton fiber cells contain CNV that contribute to the increased output of cellulose and other proteins that promote its rapid elongation.
