Each week, progress is made in sequencing the genomes of species ranging from bacteria to humans. The genetic sequences of plant species such as Arabidopsis and rice have already been completed, and the first tree genome should be sequenced by 2003 (http://www.ornl.gov/ipgc/). Analysing this new information provides an unprecedented opportunity to understand the regulation of genes, the function of gene products and, eventually, how organisms are assembled. Just as genomics tools are acknowledged as a crucial component of strategies aimed at improving human health and the quality of life, we believe that genomic tools will be critical to ensure the long-term sustainability of forest health and productivity.
