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.
