The discovery, the product of a multiyear effort to provide a high - quality
full genome map of the oil palm plant and to scour the sequence for genes of importance to both science and industry, has major implications for agriculture and the environment.

As the cost for a
full gene
map approaches $ 1,000, the opportunity increases for business owners to get in on the
genome mapping industry.
Full genome screens will detect many more problems — and will introduce much more uncertainty because whole -
genome mapping predicts the mere possibility of disease.
His view prevailed, and the project famously completed its
full map of the human
genome in 2003.
In 2012, for example, Willerslev's lab published an analysis of proteins, which are generally longer lived postmortem than genetic material, of 43,000 - year - old woolly mammoth bones.16 And last year, Willerslev, Orlando, and colleagues published a
genome - wide nucleosome
map and survey of cytosine methylation levels in the DNA they pulled from the 4,000 - year - old hair shafts of a Paleo - Eskimo, effectively launching the field of ancient epigenetics.17 Also last year, Pääbo's group at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology published the first
full DNA methylation
maps of the Neanderthal and Denisovan
genomes.18 «For the first time we'll be able to address what is the role of epigenomics and epigenetics in evolution,» Willerslev says.
«Our project will serve as a pilot for the
full - scale
mapping of functional regulatory elements in the human
genome,» said program director Kevin White, PhD, the James and Karen Frank Family Professor in the departments of Human Genetics and Ecology & Evolution, and Director of the Institute for Genomics & Systems Biology at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory.
From the test sequence data, my colleagues and I knew that the specimens were «complex» enough to obtain the
full genome, but the only way to put the code together would be by using the
genome of the band - tailed pigeon as a reference
map.
