Abstract: Arabidopsis thaliana is a tiny weed that serves as a genetic model for over 250,000 species of plant, because of its small genome and the ease with which it can be manipulated. The sequence of the first contiguous stretch of Arabidopsis DNA has now been reported. Although this represents only 1.5% of the Arabidopsis genome, at 1.9 million base pairs the sequence is longer than most of the genomes that have been completely sequenced to date.
