We report the draft genome of the black cottonwood tree, Populus trichocarpa. Integration of
shotgun sequence assembly with genetic mapping enabled chromosome-scale …

We report the draft genome sequence of the model moss Physcomitrella patens and
compare its features with those of flowering plants, from which it is separated by more than …

The imminent completion of the Arabidopsis genome sequence represents the culmination
of a 10-year effort by the plant biology community. By the time the community was ready to …

We have produced a draft sequence of the rice genome for the most widely cultivated
subspecies in China, Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica, by whole-genome shotgun sequencing …

A 2.91-billion base pair (bp) consensus sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human
genome was generated by the whole-genome shotgun sequencing method. The 14.8-billion …

Conservation of gene order in vertebrates is evident after hundreds of millions of years of
divergence,, but comparisons of the Arabidopsis thaliana sequence to partial gene orders of …

The flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana is an important model system for identifying genes
and determining their functions. Here we report the analysis of the genomic sequence of …

Green plants (Viridiplantae) include around 450,000–500,000 species, of great diversity and
have important roles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here, as part of the One …

An important step in the integration of ecology and genomics is the progression from
molecular studies of relatively simple model systems to complex field systems. The recent …

Forest biologists have developed strong justifications for why trees should be viewed as
model systems in plant biology, including the obvious challenges in extrapolating findings …
