The development of genomic resources and comparative genomics of sorghum will accelerate functional analysis of genes and specific properties of grass species.
The release of draft genome sequence by BGI (Beijing Genomics Institute), China, and Joint Genome Institute JGII) of the Department of Energy, USA, had expedited the high-throughput analysis of genome and large-scale development of genomic resources such as simple sequence repeats (SSRs), EST-derived SSRs and intron length polymorphic markers (ILPs).
An additional fruitful area will be the development of genomic resources, including fully sequenced genomes for other species of Danio and for more distant cyprinids.
The further development of genomic resources will facilitate detailed studies of genome structure, gene regulation, and gene expression in high-producing cell lines and aid in the use of sequence-specific molecular tools in cell line development.
Yet, the size and complexity of their genomes has hindered the development of genomic resources for many taxa in the genus.
Furthermore, the availability of the grape genome has driven a multitude of studies on the genetics of grapes, including genome annotation and the development of genomic resources such as bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC) and cDNA libraries [ 8- 10].
This study explored how low coverage genome sequencing of the common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca L). could be useful in characterizing the genome of a plant without prior genomic information and for development of genomic resources as a step toward further developing A. syriaca as a model in ecology and evolution.
Analysis of synteny can provide insight into the structural evolution of plant genomes and help guide the development of genomic resources [ 63].
As part of the poplar genome sequencing project and the development of genomic resources for poplar, we have generated a full-length (FL -cDNA collection using the biotinylated CAP trapper method.
Rapid development of genomic resources in fish species has provided the opportunity for comparative genome analysis, shedding lights on the structure, organization, function and evolution of vertebrate genomes.
Recent progress in the development of genomic resources for studies in reptiles has given impetus to comparative genomics aimed at understanding the evolution and structure of the reptilian genome [ 17- 19].
