Welcome RiceWiki is a community-based platform to collaboratively collect, edit and annotate information regarding rice genomes, currently covering 66,269 rice genes. It allows any user to view and search but only registered users can add and edit content. RiceWiki features harnessing collective intelligence for gene annotation, measuring users' contributions in any wiki page and providing explicit authorship for each contributor. Nothing great is ever accomplished in isolation. – Yo-Yo Ma

Rice Story As an important food Rice is the seed of the monocot plants Oryza sativa (Asian rice) or Oryza glaberrima (African rice).As a cereal grain, it is the most important staple food for a large part of the world's human population, especially in East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and the West Indies. It is the grain with the third-highest worldwide production, after maize (corn) and wheat, according to data for 2009. As a biological model Rice is not only an important food for human to eat, but also a model organism for the biological study of the grass family of crops and other plants. The genome sequences of domesticated rice provide a solid foundation for integrating biological information, including genetics, gene expression, development, physiology and evolution, which will be extended to cereal crops, monocots and even plants in general.(More) Recent Modified Genes Template:RecentActivity:type=edits Highly Accessed Genes Template:RecentActivity:type=visits Most Contributed Genes Template:RecentActivity:type=contributes

Participation RiceWiki, a sub-project of ScienceWikis, is set up so anyone can view or search, but only registered users can edit or add pages. For each wiki page, any contributed user has the corresponding authorship according to his/her contribution score. We do hope any person can participate in annotating rice genes.

About us Our group works in the field of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CBB), applying computer science, mathematics and statistics to practical problems arising from the management and analysis of large-scale biological data.
