The genome sequence of any organism is key to understanding the biology and utility that organism. Plants have diverse, complex sometimes very large nuclear genomes, mitochondrial genomes much smaller more highly conserved chloroplast genomes. Plant sequences underpin our plant serve as a platform for genetic selection improvement crop plants achieve food security. development technology can ca...

Whole and partial genome sequences are becoming available at an ever-increasing pace. For many plant pathogen systems, we are moving into the era of genome resequencing. The first Phytophthora genomes, P. ramorum and P. sojae, became available in 2004, followed shortly by P. infestans in 2006. Availability of whole genome sequences has provided rapid and immediate advances in several areas also...

SUMMARY Genome Rearrangements In Man and Mouse (GRIMM) is a tool for analyzing rearrangements of gene orders in pairs of unichromosomal and multichromosomal genomes, with either signed or unsigned gene data. Although there are several programs for analyzing rearrangements in unichromosomal genomes, this is the first to analyze rearrangements in multichromosomal genomes. GRIMM also provides a ne...

Plant resistance genes (R-genes) drive the immune responses of crops against specific pathotypes disease-causing organisms. Over time, genetic diversity in R-genes and R-pseudogenes has arisen among different rice varieties. This bioinformatics study was carried out to (i) predict full sets candidate nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat (NLR) present six genomes; (ii) detect variation wi...

CAMERA – Community Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Marine Microbial Ecology Research and Analysis http://camera.calit2.net/ CMAERA is a tool to aid people using metagenomics to study microbial community ecology. A major emphasis is on marine microbial ecosystems. Genomes on Line: Metagenomes http://www.genomesonline.org/gold.cgi?want= Metagenomes The Genomes on line database (GOLD) is an excel...

A standard genetic algorithm for sorting unsigned genomes by translocations is improved in two different manners: 1. a memetic algorithm (GAMA ) is provided, which embeds a new stage of local search, based on the concept of mutation applied in only one gene; 2. an oppositionbased learning (GAOBL ) mechanism is provided, which explores the concept of internal opposition applied to a chromosome. ...

The Genomes On Line Database (GOLD) is a web resource for comprehensive access to information regarding complete and ongoing genome sequencing projects worldwide. The database currently incorporates information on over 1500 sequencing projects, of which 294 have been completed and the data deposited in the public databases. GOLD v.2 has been expanded to provide information related to organism p...

Recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies have put ubiquitous availability of fully sequenced human genomes within reach. It is no longer hard to imagine the day when everyone will have the means to obtain and store one’s own DNA sequence. Widespread and affordable availability of fully sequenced genomes immediately opens up important opportunities in a number of health-related fields. In ...
