Metabolite Genome-Wide Association Studies Of Arabidopsis Thaliana

Abstract

Current research based on the edge of bioinformatics and ecology engineering has hugepotential due to combination of laboratory analyses and advanced bioinformatics algorithms.The paper deals with a combination of GC-MS and LC-MS based metabolomic analysis for identificationand quantitation of metabolites in environmental perturbations with advanced bioinformaticsapproach of metabolite genome-wide association studies (mGWAS). This complex view is appliedto Arabidopsis thaliana. The main goal is to obtain genetic predictions focused on A. thalianaunder different environmental conditions. Currently, important ecological issues such as climatechange, pollution etc. have impact on the change of environment. It has a great effect on plantswhich serves as producers of oxygen or food. While simple observation reveals only a phenotypechange, changes in genotypes of organisms can be captured using mGWAS and further utilized inindustrial ecology and biotechnology.
