The Populus Genome and Comparative Genomics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Genetics and Genomics of Populus

Part of the book series: Plant Genetics and Genomics: Crops and Models ((PGG,volume 8))

Abstract

Populus was the first tree genome, and one of the first plant genomes, to be sequenced. The sequencing project and subsequent annotation was a collaborative, international effort, with the bulk of the sequencing carried out by the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute. Due to the high degree of sequence coverage, the hybrid BAC library-whole genome shotgun approach employed, excellent EST and full-length cDNA sequence collections, and an engaged Populus research community, the sequence is of high quality and set a standard for subsequent genome sequencing projects. In this chapter, we provide background information on the Populus sequencing project, the genome sequence was obtained and annotated, data on Populus genome structure, uses of the genome sequence, and examples of comparative genomics studies enabled by the Populus genome sequence.
