Sequence analysis of an 81 kb contig from Arabidopsis thaliana chromosome III.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The nucleotide sequence of a 81 493 bp contig from Arabidopsis thaliana chromosome III has been determined together with 11 corresponding cognate cDNAs. Analysis of the finished sequence and comparison with public databases indicates a gene density of one gene per 4527 bp and identifies 17 novel genes, 10 of which are totally unknown or have no well-defined function. In addition, the contig contains part of a non-LTR retrotransposon and large direct and inverted repeats. Contig analysis also provides information on the structure and genomic organization of plant genes.
