Analysis of the wheat genome sequence data reported by scientists from Britain, Germany and the United States
A group of scientists has reported the sequencing of large size and polyploid bread wheat genome. They have sequenced a large, 17-gigabase-pair, hexaploid genome using 454 pyrosequencing, and compared this with the sequences of diploid ancestral and progenitor genomes. They have also identified between 94,000 and 96,000 genes, and assigned two-thirds to the three component genomes…
