Targeted isolation, sequence assembly and characterization of two white spruce (<it>Picea glauca</it>) BAC clones for terpenoid synthase and cytochrome P450 genes involved in conifer defence reveal insights into a conifer genome

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Conifers are a large group of gymnosperm trees which are separated from the angiosperms by more than 300 million years of independent evolution. Conifer genomes are extremely large and contain considerable amounts of repetitive DNA....
