Lecture 1: Plant Genomics
Objectives:
1. Why sequence a genome?
2. Which multicellular organisms were sequenced first.
Why were they chosen?
3. How are genomes sequenced?
4. What do we learn from sequencing a genome? What
do we not learn?

Why sequence genomes?
The genome sequence provides:
Why sequence genomes?
The genome sequence provides:
--accurate genome size
--number and type of genes.
--gene/genome structure (splice junctions, base
composition, gene spacing, redundancy)
--tools for investigating gene function.

Small size
Large number of progeny
Short generation time
Small genome (50-150 Mbp)
Studied genetically for many years
How were these genomes sequenced?
1.
Create a library of large genomic fragments for
organism of interest.
(eg bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC vector takes
100-200 kb fragments of genomic DNA).
Isolated genomic DNA contains many copies of each chromosome (from many cells)
Shear randomly into large pieces
Ligate fragments into a BAC vector (
)
How were these genomes sequenced?
1.
Create a library of large genomic fragments for
organism of interest.
(eg bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC vector takes
100-200 kb fragments of genomic DNA).
2.
Place BAC clones into contigs (contiguous DNA
segments)
by sequencing a few (500) clones (seed BACs)
completely and sequencing only the ends of many
more clones (10,000).
Use a computer to match the end sequences to the
seed clones to group and align the BAC clones.
How were these genomes sequenced?
(cont.)
3.
Choose the minimum number of clones (minimum
tiling path) to cover as much of the the entire genome
as possible

Choose the minimum number of clones (minimum

4.
Sequence the BACs in the minimum tiling path.
Contigs can be linked by identifying a clone that spans
two contigs.
New Generation Sequencing
Techniques
• Illumina (Solexa)
• Roche (454)
• Applied Biosystems Inc. (SOLiD system)
Shotgun sequencing many fragments in
parallel.

Information obtained from sequencing the
Arabidopsis genome
Genome size:
115 Mbp sequenced +
10 Mbp highly repetitive: (rDNA,
Centromere)
= 125 Mbp
Sequence is 99.99% accurate
Annotation
Identification of genes:
How? Use known sequence features of genes to predict:
Open reading frames, Splice junctions, promoter elements,
base composition, translation initiation sites.
Refine with cDNA sequence.
