What is the rice genome?
The world’s first genome of a crop plant that was
completely sequenced
Rice –like Arabidopsis –is a model
experimental plant
Model experimental crop: Why rice?
It enables full coverage of the genome in a fraction of the time required for the
alternative BAC sequencing approach
Sequences are assembled by using PHRED and PHRAP soft ware packages or
TIGR assembler.
Interproscan: conserved domain search and and association with gene ontologies.
Class 1 (Concentrated in gene poor , heterochromatic regions like centromeric and pericentromeric regions)
