Sesame is an ancient oil seed crop belonging to family Pedaliaceae. It is valued for high quality oil and seeds are rich source of unsaturated fatty acids, minor nutrients such as vitamins and minerals which consists of essential health and medicinal values. In the present study, genome-wide identification of genes, transcription factors and transposable elements was performed using draft genome assembly of Swetha variety of sesame. A total of 24579genes were identified among which 8244 genes had significant matches in Plant TFDB corresponding to 58 transcription factor families. In addition, a total of 25069 transposable elements were identified from scaffolds of draft assembly of sesame. Our study enhances the genomic resources of sesame and provides ample amount of information about genes and transposable elements which could serve as a valuable basis for future studies.
