Genomics of Basal Metazoans1
نویسنده
چکیده
SYNOPSIS. An in-depth understanding of the biology of animals will require the generation of genomics resources from organisms from all phyla in the metazoan phylogenetic tree. Such resources will ideally include complete genome sequences and comprehensive EST (expressed sequence tag) datasets for each species of interest. Of particular interest in this regard are animals in the early diverging non-bilaterian phyla Porifera, Placozoa, Cnidaria, and Ctenophora. Publications describing the results from the use of genomics approaches in these phyla have only recently begun to appear (Kortschak et al., 2003; Yang et al., 2003; Steele et al., 2004). Issues to be considered here include choosing the basal metazoan species to examine with genomics approaches, the relative advantages and disadvantages of genome sequencing versus EST projects, and the resources and infrastructure required to carry out such projects successfully.

Comparative Genomics: Prediction of the Ciliary and Basal Body Proteome
Defects in mammalian cilia lead to a range of diseases, but our understanding of the composition of these organelles and of the basal bodies from which they arise is limited. Two recent studies used comparative genomics to predict the ciliary and basal body proteomes, providing datasets that are rich sources of human disease gene candidates.
متن کاملAssessment of the Genetic Diversity of Almond (Prunus dulcis) Using Microsatellite Markers and Morphological Traits
The genetic diversity among 56 almond (Prunus dulcis) genotypes was analysed using 35 microsatellite markers and 14 morphological traits. Analysis of morphological traits revealed a wide range of variation among the studied genotypes. Out of 35 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) markers, 25 were polymorphic, producing 215 alleles that varied from 2 to 16 with an average of 8.76 alleles per locus. R...

Genes carry instructions to make protein that affect body's cells and their physical activity. They also play an important role in the occurrence of various characteristics in the body. Recently, scientists in the new field of science known as genomics have studied the genetic instructions. Genomics deals with the discovery of all the sequences in the entire genome of organisms and is used to s...
