Title Cereal genome evolution: pastoral pursuits with 'Lego' genomes
Source Current opinion in genetics & development, 1995, vol. 5, pp. 717-724
Author (1) Moore-G
Abstract The rapid progress in comparative analysis of cereal genomes reveals that they
are composed of similar genomic building blocks. It seems that by simply
rearranging these blocks and amplifying some of the repetitive sequences
contained within them, it is possible to reconstitute the 56 different
chromosomes found in wheat, rice, maize, sorghum, millet and sugarcane.
Comparison of the orders of blocks in these reconstituted chromosomes reveals
that the cleavage of a single chromosome formed from the blocks could give rise
to all the combinations found in the chromosomes of the above species. A
framework is now in place for collating all the information which has been
generated from studying the individual cereals.
