Genome Sequencing and Genome Resources in Model Legumes

Update on Genome Sequencing and Resources in Model Legumes Genome Sequencing and Genome Resources in Model Legumes

Since the completion of the sequencing of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genome in 2000, it has become clear that information about the genome of a particular plant species can have dramatic benefits in promoting plant molecular genetics in general. To create a similar situation in legumes, two species with small genomes, Lotus japonicus (Japanese trefoil) and Medicago truncatula (barre...

Predicting CpG Islands and DNA Methlation in the Cow Genome Using DNA Microarray Meta-Analysis and Genome Wide Scanning

DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic changes that directly affects DNA. In mammals, DNA methylation is essential for fetal development and stem cell differentiation and this phenomenon essentially occurs within the CpG islands. In this study, two methods were used to study the DNA methylation profile of cow genome. In the first method, the DNA methylation profile of the differentially expres...

Genome Wide Association Studies, Next Generation Sequencing and Their Application in Animal Breeding and Genetics: A Review

Recently genetic studies have been revolutionized by next generation sequencing (NGS) technology, and it is expected that the use of this technology will largely eliminate defects in the methods of association studies. The NGS technology is becoming the premier tool in genetics. However, at the moment the use of this method is limited especially in the livestock due to high cost and computation...
