DOE JGI Community Sequencing Program delivers first moss genome
Date:12/13/2007

the full Physcomitrella genome available to the public greatly advances bioinformatic comparisons and functional genomics in plants, said Mishler. This is a great example of how phylogenetics can integrate with functional and applied studies.

Furthermore, Quatrano said, unlike vascular plant systems, we can target and delete specific moss genes to study their function in important crop processes, and replace them with genes from crop plants to allow us to study the evolution of gene function. In addition to the genome, extensive genomic tools are now available in Physcomitrella to study comparative gene function and evolution as related to bioenergy and other processes of importance to crops. These tools can be found at: www.mossgenome.org.
