Russian-Chinese research team has sequenced the genome of Thalictrum
2022-05-18
TSU laboratory Herbarium scientists, in collaboration with colleagues from China, have published an article on the Thalictrum genus, which has antibacterial and other healing properties. The article “Organization, phylogenetic marker exploitation and gene evolution in the plastome of Thalictrum (Ranunculaceae)” is published in “Frontiers in Plant Science” (Q1, Impact Factor 5.735). The scientists have sequenced and analyzed the complete plastid genomes of two Thalictrum species (T. minus var. hypoleucum and T. simplex) using bioinformatics technologies.
“Next generation sequencing provides us with a large amount of data on plant genomes, proteomes, transcriptomes, etc. Numerical techniques to make sense of these data are provided by a newly emerging field of botany – plant bioinformatics. We used bioinformatics technologies to study the Thalictrum genus,” says Andrey Erst, senior researcher at the TSU laboratory Herbarium and co-author of the article.
