The completed Arabidopsis genome seems to be of limited value as a model for maize genomics. In addition to the expansion of repetitive sequences in maize and the lack of genomic micro-colinearity, maize-specific or highly-diverged proteins contribute to a predicted maize proteome of about 50,000 proteins, twice the size of that of Arabidopsis.
完整的拟南芥基因组作为玉米基因组学的模型,其价值似乎有限。除了玉米中重复序列的扩增以及缺乏基因组微共线性外,玉米特有的或高度分化的蛋白质导致预测的玉米蛋白质组约有50000种蛋白质,是拟南芥蛋白质组大小的两倍。
