Summary

The introduction of novel sequencing technologies has led to a massive expansion of genomic sequence information. Completely sequenced genomes of hundreds of different ecotypes of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana are now available. Applying bioinformatics methods, the extensive sequence information can be exploited for the identification of trait associated genes or novel regulatory elements.
