MeRecon: Carbon assimilation pathway of cassava tutorial

The carbon assimilation pathway of cassava (MeRecon) was reconstructed from the cassava genome version 4.1 (Phytozome version 7.0) with the reference pathway of six plant templates (Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), Zea mays (maize), Oryza sativa (rice), Ricinus communis (castor bean), Solanum tuberosum (potato), and Brassica rapa (turnip)) by using the comparative genomics approach developed by Saithong T. et al., 2013, BMC Syst. Biol., 7:75. The conservation scores (CS) represent confidence of the identification relying on the consistency or the conservation of the identified gene in cassava among the six plant templates, and the match scores (MS) represent confidence of the identification based on the similarity of the two aligned sequences.
