Radish genome assembly is 15 hampered by the repetitive and complex nature of the genome. To address this, single-molecule 16 real-time technology was used to obtain long-read sequences at 60× genome coverage.

Secondly, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Kamal Mohamed Saeed for his supervision, valuable advice, kind treatment and guidance during this work period and chemistry department, colleagues and all whom support me. III Abstract Extraction of the Raphanus sativus seeds oil was carried out using Soxhlet extractor. The oil percentage in the sample was found to be (33.4%) by weight. The GC-MS analysis showed nine (9) major components: palmatic acid (5.52%), Oleic acid (25.22%), linoleic acid (12.01%), 11-eicosenoic acid (10.66%), eicosanoic acid (1.90%), erucia acid (32.79%), heneicosanoic acid (2.68%), nervonic acid (2.91%) and tetracosanoic acid (1.84%). The pharmaceutical uses and health effects of these major constituents were stated. The physicochemical tests of the oil showed that: the refractive index (1.4580), density (0.685 mg/ml), viscosity (5.01 m Pa.s), saponification value (152.899 mg/g), acid value (3.647 mg/g), Peroxide value (5 m/kg), Iodine value (63.45 g/100 g), Ester value (149.252 mg/g).
