A Whole-Genome Sequenced Rice Mutant Resource for the Study of Biofuel Feedstocks

Wednesday, July 5, 2017 - 13:32 in Biology & Nature

Researchers at the DOE Joint BioEnergy Institute, in collaboration with the Joint Genome Institute, are reporting the first whole-genome sequence of a mutant population of Kitaake, a model variety of rice. Their high-density, high-resolution catalog of mutations facilitates the discovery of novel genes and functional elements that control diverse biological pathways.
