Current status of rice informatics resources and breeding applications

Search this article

Abstract

Bioinformatics tools and databases have become integral parts of scientific researches. With the global efforts in structural and functional characterization of the rice genome, rice is now at the forefront of cereal genomics with a robust informatics infrastracture that provides fundamental information for understanding the biology of rice and other cereal crops. A wide range of resources encompassing genome sequence data, genetic maps, molecular markers, insertional mutations, gene expression profiles, proteome, and the integration of these genomics data have become readily accessible in online databases providing various types of information that can be used for complete understanding of rice biology. The ultimate application of these genomics information and resources is widely reflected in efforts aimed at elucidating agronomic traits with important ramifications in breeding strategies.<br>
