Genomics and Functional Genomics in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Chlamydomonas: Molecular Genetics and Physiology

Part of the book series: Microbiology Monographs ((MICROMONO,volume 30))

Abstract

The availability of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii nuclear genome sequence continues to enable researchers to address biological questions relevant to algae, land plants, and animals in unprecedented ways. As we continue to characterize and understand biological processes in C. reinhardtii and translate that knowledge to other systems, we are faced with the realization that many genes encode proteins without a defined function. The field of functional genomics aims to close this gap between genome sequence and protein function. Transcriptomes, proteomes, and phenomes can each provide layers of gene-specific functional data while supplying a global snapshot of cellular behavior under different conditions. Herein we present a brief history of functional genomics, the present status of the C. reinhardtii genome, how genome-wide experiments can aid in supplying protein function inferences, and provide an outlook for functional genomics in C. reinhardtii.
