Comparative Sequencing of Plant Genomes: Choices to Make

Abstract

The first sequenced genome of a plant, Arabidopsis thaliana , was published <6 years ago ([Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, 2000][1]). Since that time, the complete rice genome ( Oryza sativa ; [Goff et al., 2002][2]; [Yu et al., 2002][3]; [International Rice Genome Sequencing Project, 2005][4]) and a
