Categorizing mutations in the fast-neutron-induced rice mutants by re-sequencing. Oryza sativa

The availability of a whole-genome sequenced mutant population and the cataloging of mutations of each line at a single-nucleotide resolution facilitates functional genomic analysis. To this end, we generated a fast-neutron-induced mutant population in the model rice cultivar Kitaake (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica), which completes its life cycle in 9 weeks. We have categorized mutations in these lines by re-sequencing. This genetic resource will enable rapid functional genomic studies of rice.
