美国能源部联合基因组研究所等机构的科学家日前完成了对高粱的全基因组测序和分析,其相关研究成果已刊登在《自然》杂志上。科学家利用全基因组鸟枪测序法完成了对高粱基因组的测序。结果显示,高粱基因组大约有3万个基因,有7.3亿个核苷酸,比大米约多75%。科学家及工业界人士认 The scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute and other agencies recently completed genome-wide sequencing and analysis of sorghum. Relevant research has been published in Nature. The scientists sequenced the sorghum genome using genome-wide shotgun sequencing. The results showed that there are about 30,000 genes in the sorghum genome, with 730 million nucleotides, about 75% more than rice. Scientists and industrialists recognize
