Reference Genome 2000-2023
The Arabidopsis thaliana genome was sequenced in 2000 by the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative (AGI) (Nature 14 Dec. 2000). The genome has five chromosomes and a total size of approximately 135-megabases. The current TIGR golden path length is 119,146,348 bp. The table below shows the approximate total length and the length of the golden path for each chromosome.
| Golden path length | Approximate chromosome length | |
|---|---|---|
| Chromosome 1 | 30,427,671 bp | 34,964,571 bp |
| Chromosome 2 | 19,698,289 bp | 22,037,565 bp |
| Chromosome 3 | 23,459,830 bp | 25,499,034 bp |
| Chromosome 4 | 18,585,056 bp | 20,862,711 bp |
| Chromosome 5 | 26,975,502 bp | 31,270,811 bp |
| Total | 119,146,348 bp | 134,634,692 bp |
