The ancient land plant Physcomitrella patens is a model system that is becoming increasingly important for plant functional genomics because gene knockouts can be produced with relative ease. Recently, several EST-sequencing projects have been launched as a first step towards a thorough functional characterization of the moss. However, for careful comparison with other plant model systems, the complete genomic sequence is needed as well as the transcriptome.
古老的陆地植物小立碗藓是一种模式系统,对于植物功能基因组学正变得越来越重要,因为可以相对容易地产生基因敲除。最近,已经启动了几个EST测序项目,作为对该苔藓进行全面功能表征的第一步。然而,为了与其他植物模式系统进行仔细比较,完整的基因组序列以及转录组都是必需的。
