Abstract:
This report illustrates development of plant sequencing programmes. So far Arabidopsis genome has been completely sequenced and a draft of the rice genome is available. The Arabidopsis programmes stimulated sequencing of EST (expressed sequence tags) from numerous cultivated species thus creating an enormous resource. The major challenge is now to correctly annotate all the genes in Arabidopsis and find out a biological and biochemical function for each one. The availability of EST and genome sequence now allows one to analyse the expression of genes at the level of the whole genome.

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...
