1000 Plant Genomes Project : ウィキペディア英語版 | 1000 Plant Genomes Project Announced in 2008, shortly after the human 1000 Genomes Project, the 1000 Plant Genomes Project is another, similar highly large-scale genomics endeavour to take advantage of the speed and efficiency of next-generation DNA sequencing. Headed by Dr. Gane Ka-Shu Wong and Dr. Michael Deyholos of the University of Alberta, the project aims to obtain the transcriptome (expressed genes) of 1000 different plant species over the next few years.〔(Retrieved Feb. 25, 2010 )〕 In light of recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies that have dramatically reduced the cost and time needed to sequence an organism's entire genome, large-scale (involving many organisms) sequencing projects have been and are currently being undertaken. The recently started 1000 genomes project for example, aims to obtain high genome coverage of 1000 individual people to better understand human genetic variation because genomic sequence is the best way to assess this. ==Goals of the Project== , the number of classified green plant species is around 370,000. However, there are probably many thousands more yet unclassified. Despite this number, very few of these species have detailed DNA sequence information to date; 125,426 species in GenBank, , but most (>95%) have DNA sequence for only one or two genes. "…almost none of the roughly half million plant species known to humanity has been touched by genomics at any level".〔 The 1000 Plant Genomes Project will produce a roughly a 100x increase in the number of species with available broad genome sequence.
