Breakthrough Technologies Positional Cloning in Arabidopsis. Why It Feels Good to Have a Genome Initiative Working for You
نویسندگان
چکیده
Positional (or map-based) cloning techniques are widely used to identify the protein products of genes defined by mutation. In Arabidopsis the information generated by the Genome Initiative is giving this approach a decisive boost. A wealth of sequence polymorphisms and molecular markers is now available and can be exploited for fine mapping with technically simple and robust polymerase chain reaction-based methods. As a result it has become possible to complete positional cloning projects in a short time and with relatively little effort.

متن کاملBreakthrough Technologies Arabidopsis Map-Based Cloning in the Post-Genome Era
Map-based cloning is an iterative approach that identifies the underlying genetic cause of a mutant phenotype. The major strength of this approach is the ability to tap into a nearly unlimited resource of natural and induced genetic variation without prior assumptions or knowledge of specific genes. One begins with an interesting mutant and allows plant biology to reveal what gene or genes are ...
متن کاملAn improved method for plant BAC library construction.
Large genomic DNA insert-containing libraries are required as critical tools for physical mapping, positional cloning, and genome sequencing of complex genomes. The bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) cloning system has become a dominant system over others to clone large genomic DNA inserts. As the costs of positional cloning, physical mapping, and genome sequencing continuously decrease, the...
متن کاملAll about Arabidopsis
Arabidopsis thaliana has grown from a lowly weed into a model organism of lofty stature and spawned a rapidly growing field of research. A wealth of on-line resources has arisen to coordinate the multicenter Arabidopsis sequencing project. The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative (AGI) provides up-to-date information about ongoing efforts to sequence the five chromosomes of A. thaliana. As of March 20...
متن کاملCloning of quantitative trait genes from rice reveals conservation and divergence of photoperiod flowering pathways in Arabidopsis and rice
Flowering time in rice (Oryza sativa L.) is determined primarily by daylength (photoperiod), and natural variation in flowering time is due to quantitative trait loci involved in photoperiodic flowering. To date, genetic analysis of natural variants in rice flowering time has resulted in the positional cloning of at least 12 quantitative trait genes (QTGs), including our recently cloned QTGs, H...
