ABSTRACT

The possibility to access a complete genome sequence allows the development of new resources for (i) high-throughput functional analysis without a priori (see for instance https://www.catma.org/), (ii) whole genome syntenic approaches for the detection of badly predicted genes or of conserved regulatory boxes (see for instance Roest Crollius et al. 2000). Finally, it greatly facilitates the identifi cation of key genes by combined genetic and genomics approaches (Morgante and Salamini 2003).
