Abstract: | Genome colinearity has been studied for two closely related diploid species of the Brassicaceae family, Arabidopsis thaliana and Capsella rubella. Markers mapping to chromosome 4 of A. thaliana were found on two linkage groups in Capsella and colinear segments spanning more than 10 cM were revealed. Detailed analysis of a 60 kbp region in A. thaliana and its counterpart in C. rubella showed virtually complete conservation of gene repertoire, order and orientation. The comparison of orthologous genes revealed very similar exon-intron structures and sequence identities of 90% or more were found for exon sequences. This extensive genome colinearity at the genetic and molecular level allows the efficient transfer of data from the well-studied A. thaliana genome to other species in the Brassicaceae family, substantially facilitating genome analysis studies for species of this family. |
