"From v1.1 of the P. patens genome
~36 000 protein-encoding genes were predicted [ref 6 PMID 18079367], whereas clustered EST
(expressed sequence tag) data suggested only ~25 000
protein-encoding moss genes [ref 8 PMID 12475493]. More detailed analysis prompted [researchers] to exclude gene models overlapping with transposable elements and tRNA and microRNA (miRNA) genes before release of v1.2 of the P. patens genome. From this, [researchers] can predict 27 949 protein-encoding P. patens genes." |
| Comments |
"Hence, the complexity in terms of raw number of protein-encoding genes in P. patens (~30 000 [ref 6 PMID 18079367]) is in the same range as those of morphologically more complex organisms, such as Homo sapiens or Arabidopsis thaliana [ref 9 PMID 17289424]. Table 2 provides a more detailed comparison between sequenced genomes of Plantae (Figure 1)." |
