Abstract: | Nineteen Pl and TAC clones, which have been mapped on the finephysical map of the Arabidopsis thaliana chromosome 5, weresequenced according to the shotgun-based strategy, and theirstructural features were analysed. The total length of the regionssequenced in this study was 1,367,185 bp. Combining this withthe regions covered by 90 P1 and TAC clones proviously reported,the total length of chromosome 5 sequenced to date becomes 8,058,855bp. On the basis of similarity search against protein and ESTdatabases and gene modeling with computer programs, a totalof 330 potential protein-coding regions were identified, bringingan average density of the genes to approximately one gene per4.1 kb. Introns were identified in 81.0% of the potential proteingenes for which the entire gene structure was predicted, withan average number per gene of 4.2 and an average length of theintrons of 180 bp. The RNA-coding genes identified were 9 tRNAgenes corresponding to 8 amino acid species and 2 genes forU2 nuclear RNA. These sequence features are essentially identicalto those in the previously reported sequences. The sequencedata and gene information are available on the World Wide Webdatabase KAOS (Kazusa Arabidopsis data Opening Site) at http://www.kazusa.or.jp/arabi/. |
