2 unusual facts about 1000 Plant Genomes Project


1000 Plant Genomes Project

Since mRNA is the starting material, the amount of sequence representation for a given gene will be based on the expression level (how many mRNA molecules it produces).

•

Since only the transcriptome is being sequenced, the project will not reveal information about gene regulatory sequence, non-coding RNAs, DNA repetitive elements, or other genomic features that are not part of the coding sequence.
