**3.2. Whole genome and transcriptome sequencing of Solanaceae spp.**

Whole genome sequencing of a species reveals the structural organization of genome, includ‐ ing a number of protein-coding and non-protein-coding genes and repetitive elements and serves as the basis for finding genome-wide analysis of genetic variation, QTL mapping, diversity analysis, association mapping of agronomically important traits for crop improve‐ ment, and comparative study of genome evolution between different species.
