  • Sorghum is an African grass that is grown for food, animal feed and fuel. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the ∼730 megabase genome of Sorghum bicolor. Genome analysis and its comparison with maize and rice shed light on grass genome evolution and also provide insights into the evolution of C4 photosynthesis, as well as protein coding genes and miRNAs that might contribute to sorghum's drought tolerance.

  • Complex heritable traits — such as human height and many human diseases — are caused by multiple genetic loci, each with small effects. It is hard to identify such loci, however, because of a lack of statistical power. Now, a method has been developed to overcome this problem. The method has been applied to chemical resistance traits and mitochondrial function in yeast, and has identified loci for each of these phenotypes.
