Project Title
The map-based sequence of the rice genome
The Background of This Project
- Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important food crop in the world and feeds over half of the global population. As the first step in a systematic and complete functional characterization of the rice genome, the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project
(IRGSP) has generated and analysed a highly accurate finished sequence of the rice genome that is anchored to the genetic map.The researchers analysis has revealed several salient features of the rice genome.
