An integrated database of Eucalyptus spp. genome project
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The species of the genus Eucalyptus are the most planted for the fiber crop in the world. They are mainly utilized for timber, pulp and paper production. Brazil, helped by the favorable weather conditions, appears as a big producer and exporter of eucalyptus derivates. In 2002, the Brazilian network research of the Eucalyptus Genome (Genolyptus) was established with the goal of integrating several academic and private institutions currently working with eucalyptus genomics in Brazil. This project generated around 200.000 ESTs from several tissues and conditions. Consequently, several individual projects have been implemented generating other transcriptome databases, in special, using RNA-Seq technology. In 2010, a draft genome (http://eucalyptusdb.bi.up. ac.za) of the specie E. grandis was produced by researches of the Joint Genome Institute (DOE-JGI) and the Eucalyptus Genome Network (EUCAGEN). The main goal of this work is to develop an Eucalyptusdatabase (http://www.lge.ibi.unicamp.br/genolyptus) integrating public and private data in a friendly and secure web interface with bioinformatics tools that allowing the users perform complex searches.

Microsatellites are the kinds of sequences in the genome of living organism that have the fastest variation frequency. The variations of numbers of microsatellite repeat units in the structure gene cause frame-shift mutation of the gene, resulting in gene expressing in fully difference or expressing truncated protein. Thus, in the evolutionary process, microsatellite within the gene region woul...

Species of Eucalyptus, mostly native to Australia, are widely planted as exotics in the tropics and Southern Hemisphere. These plantations represent an important source of fuel-wood, structural timber and pulp. Eucalyptus plantations are, however, vulnerable to infection by pathogens, including Mycosphaerella spp. and their anamorphs, which have caused substantial damage, in many parts of the w...
