Comparative Sequencing of Plant Genomes: Choices to Make

From: Plant Cell | Date: May 1, 2006| Author: Jackson, Scott; Rounsley, Steve; Purugganan, Michael | Copyright information

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 been completed. In addition, the National Center for Biotechnology Information Entrez Genome Pro...

SEQUENCING: WHERE IS THE FUNDING?
The Scientist ; Four years ago, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) used 83% of its $150 million sequencing budget on mapping the human genome. In 2003, 27% of its $163 million budget was devoted to the human genome, and in 2004, less than 1%. "Now we are using the sequencing budget on dozens of

Venter center planned for overall genome sequencing. (Pharmaceutical).(J. Craig Venter plans a large, new genomics research facility)(Brief Article)
R & D ; J. Craig Venter, currently chairman of The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), a non-profit sequencing institute in Rockville, Md., has announced plans to create what is described as the nation's largest genome sequencing center. Until recently, Venter led Celera Genomics, also in Rockville, a
