Poplar Genome Decoded
Category(-ies): Genomics
An international consortium, including researchers at the University of British Columbia, has decoded the first complete DNA sequence of a tree, Populus trichocarpa, the Black Cottonwood. Poplar was chosen because of its relatively small genome size. Although considerably smaller than other trees, the poplar genome is four times the size of the first plant sequenced, Arabidopsis thaliana.
