Organizing biological data
Genomic sequencing of A. thaliana ecotype Columbia was done by a multinational effort collectively termed "The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative" (AGI). The strategy employed was based on the use of BAC, YAC, cosmid, or P1 clones. The participating members were: 1. TIGR - sequencing and annotation of Chromosome 1, 2, and 3, whole genome analysis. 2. Kazusa DNA Research Institute - sequencing and annotation of chromosome 3 and 5. In addition, They also sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of Arabidopsis. 3. ESSA - consisting of 17 European laboratories. They sequenced parts of chromosome 4 and 5. MIPS, as the informatics coordinator within the ESSA project, was responsible for data handling and analysis. 4. SSP consortium - consisting of Stanford University, Salk Institute, and University of California, Berkeley. Sequencing and annotation of Chromosome 1. 5. CSH/WU/ABI consortium - consisting of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories, Washington University School of Medicine, and ABD-Perkin Elmer. They sequenced chromosomes 4 and 5 and annotated chromosome 4. 6. GENOSCOPE - chromosome 3 and BAC Ends
The sequencing was completed in 2000 and published in the journal Nature. Less...
