Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for constructing expression profiles of multigene families, in particular to a method for constructing expression profiles of multigene families with high degree of homology. Background technique
[0002] A multigene family is a group of genes that originated from a common ancestor and thus have the same function and similar DNA sequences. Among the genes of Escherichia coli (E.coli), the known gene family members exceed 50% (Koonin et al., 1998), and this proportion may be even higher in eukaryotes (Chervitz et al., 1998 ; Semple and Wolfe, 1999). In plant genomes, multigene families are more of a feature. For example, 66% of the genes in Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana) belong to gene families, and half of the families have at least five member genes (Analysis of the genome sequence of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana, 2000), which is not the case in other ubiquitous in plants. Studying all the genes in...
