Progress in Arabidopsis genome sequencing and functional genomics.

چکیده
Arabidopsis thaliana has a relatively small genome of approximately 130 Mb containing about 10% repetitive DNA. Genome sequencing studies reveal a gene-rich genome, predicted to contain approximately 25000 genes spaced on average every 4.5 kb. Between 10 to 20% of the predicted genes occur as clusters of related genes, indicating that local sequence duplication and subsequent divergence generates a significant proportion of gene families. In addition to gene families, repetitive sequences comprise individual and small clusters of two to three retroelements and other classes of smaller repeats. The clustering of highly repetitive elements is a striking feature of the A. thaliana genome emerging from sequence and other analyses.

Plant functional genomics.
Nucleotide sequencing of the Arabidopsis genome is nearing completion, sequencing of the rice genome has begun, and large amounts of expressed sequence tag information are being obtained for many other plants. There are many opportunities to use this wealth of sequence information to accelerate progress toward a comprehensive understanding of the genetic mechanisms that control plant growth and...
متن کاملFunctional genomics in Arabidopsis: large-scale insertional mutagenesis complements the genome sequencing project.
The ultimate goal of genome research on the model flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana is the identification of all of the genes and understanding their functions. A major step towards this goal, the genome sequencing project, is nearing completion; however, functional studies of newly discovered genes have not yet kept up to this pace. Recent progress in large-scale insertional mutagenesis ope...
متن کاملBioinformatics Study and Investigation of the Expression Pattern of Several Important Genes Involved in Glycyrrhizin Synthesis of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. in Autumn and Spring Seasons
Glycyrrhiza is one of the important medicinal plants that is in danger of extinction. Search for finding accessions that have a higher glycyrrhizic acid is very important in breeding programs. Functional genomics methods such as EST sequencing prepare the ability to identify consensus gene families among studied species and interpretation of the genome. In this research, 55960 EST sequences of ...
متن کاملPerspectives on Translational Biology Arabidopsis to Rice. Applying Knowledge from a Weed to Enhance Our Understanding of a Crop Species
Although Arabidopsis is well established as the premiere model species in plant biology, rice (Oryza sativa) is moving up fast as the second-best model organism. In addition to the availability of large sets of genetic, molecular, and genomic resources, two features make rice attractive as a model species: it represents the taxonomically distinct monocots and is a crop species. Plant structural...

متن کاملComparative Sequencing of Plant Genomes: Choices to Make
The first sequenced genome of a plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, was published ,6 years ago (Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, 2000). Since that time, the complete rice genome (Oryza sativa; Goff et al., 2002; Yu et al., 2002; International Rice Genome Sequencing Project, 2005) and a draft sequence of the poplar genome (Populus trichocarpa; http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Poptr1/ Poptr1.home.html) have also...
