Tool Helps Identify Gene Function In Soybeans

In the race for bioengineered crops, sequencing the genome could be considered the first leg in a multi-leg relay. Once the sequence is complete, the baton is passed forward to researchers to identify genes’ functions. A draft sequence of the soybean genome is now available, and the complete genome will be available soon.
