Abstract excerpt
The genomes of five species belonging to the grass family have been fully sequenced and provide insight into the structural organization and evolution of grass genomes. Comparative analyses have shown that genes and repeats are organized differently in small genomes compared to large genomes. Small genomes show a clear partitioning between gene-rich euchromatic and gene-poor pericentromeric regions. This is far...
