The 1000 Plant Transcriptomes Initiative (1KP) was an international research effort to establish the most detailed catalogue of genetic variation in plants. It was announced in 2008 and headed by Gane Ka-Shu Wong and Michael Deyholos of the University of Alberta. The project successfully sequenced the transcriptomes (expressed genes) of 1000 different plant species by 2014; its final capstone products were published in 2019. 1KP was one of the large-scale (involving many organisms) sequencing projects designed to take advantage of the wider availability of high-throughput ("next-generation") DNA sequencing technologies. The similar 1000 Genomes Project, for example, obtained high-coverage genome sequences of 1000 individual people between 2008 and 2015, to better understand human genetic variation. This project providing a template for further planetary-scale genome projects including the 10KP Project sequencing the whole genomes of 10,000 Plants, and the Earth BioGenome Project, aiming to sequence, catalog, and characterize the genomes of all of Earth’s eukaryotic biodiversity.
