Introduction
The research is based on nucleic acids research. The research focuses on the Evolutionary Origins of Brassicaceae specific genes in Arabidopsis thaliana. It is one of the most studied plants globally. The plant has been studied by over eleven thousand researchers and over 40000 institutions through journals contained in the online resource referred to as (TAIR) Arabidopsis Information Resource.
The research is aimed at providing a comprehensive analysis of the origin of lineage-specific genes contained in the Brassicaceae family. In the last couple of years a wide range of data content has been presented in this field of study. Some of the development in this line of study includes; sequence polymorphism: phenotypes, protein information, germplasms, gene families, metabolic pathways, gene ontology annotations, and seed and DNA stocks.
Results
In the study, genes that are lineage-specific in nature and fall within the nucleus of 1761 genes, 28 genes mitochondria genomes are identified. Other identified genoes include the genes that appear to be categorized on the bracket of two-thirds of the genes which are lineage-specific with the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana.
The fundamental purpose of this research to be carried out is to try and understand the concept that is lineage-specific genes have been found to contain a low level of expressions across the cells and tissues and high tissue specificity. This is done through the forecast one gains from the actions and roles of lineage-specific genetics and how they evolve to form patterns in Arabidopsis thaliana as core expression patterns. (Donoghue, Keshavaiah, Swamidatta & Spillane, 2011)
To give indication patterns of tissues and stimulus-specific functions. Technology has enabled the work of this study much simpler with the introduction of visual and analyzing tools such as the set viewer and Aracyc.
Discussion
This study has been carried out to try and highlight through demonstration that the plant Arabidopsis thaliana has a genome that has a higher content ratio of lineage-specific genes than in any other nucleus chromosome. (Donoghue, Keshavaiah, Swamidatta & Spillane, 2011)
On the other hand, the Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplasts gene has no Brassicaceae genes which are restricted.
These results highlight the different mechanisms for the production of genetic novelty that occurs in the two organs.
Conclusion
The development of our understanding in the study of lineage-specific genes has triggered more interest for the development of research in this line of study in regards to how novel genes can acquire the aspect of functionality in more diverse forms of different lineages. This study identifies all the Brassicaceae-specific genes in Arabidopsis thaliana. It also identifies how lineage-specific genes have arisen.
This research analyzes the importance of different routes which have been used since the time studies on the origin of lineage-specific genes contained in the Brassicaceae family began and leads to the source of novel ORFs within the lineage to be scrutinized and assessed.
According to (Donoghue, Keshavaiah, Swamidatta & Spillane, 2011) the highlights regarding the roles or works of the specific lineage genes are identified through the nature of identifying the responsiveness stress through a process enrichment in the lineage-specific genes, this is done by portraying their importance for the environmental aspects and strategies on adaptation.
