Grapevine genome sequencing

Grapevine genome sequencing. Data from a gelelectrophoresis experiment to sequence the PinotNoir grape ( Vitis sp. ) genome. This technique isused to separate, in sequence, nucleotide basesfrom DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) fragments. DNAcontains 4 bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine andthymine), which are represented here by differentcolours. The DNA fragments are placed in a porousgel that has an electric current applied to it.The nucleotides move down the gel according totheir size. After the process has run the basesappear as bands on the gel. The sequences of basesmake up genes, which encode an organism's geneticinformation.
