The long term goal of this project
is to develop an experimentally tractable and closed model system
to globally unravel and understand the evolution, physiology and biochemistry
of the genus Oryza.
The specific objectives of this proposal are to:
 |
Construct
DNA fingerprint/BAC-end sequence physical maps from 11 deep
coverage BAC libraries that represent the 11 wild genomes of
Oryza (830,000 fingerprints; 1,659,000 BAC ends) |
| |
|
align
the 11 physical maps with the sequenced reference subspecies
japonica and indica. |
| |
|
construct
high-resolution physical maps of rice chromosomes 1, 3 and 10
across the 11 wild genomes using a combination of hybridization
and in silico anchoring strategies. |
| |
|
provide
convenient bioinformatics research and educational tools (FPC
and web-based) to rapidly access and understand the collective
Oryza genome. |
