Oryza sativa Raw sequence reads

Extensive allelic variation on agronomically important genes serves as the basis of breeding in rice. Owing to advances in functional studies on numerous genes, it is now possible in rice to introduce known alleles under rational design for variety improvement. Here we re-sequenced the genomes for a rice population and created a comprehensive map of quantitative trait nucleotide (QTN) for rice.

水稻农艺性状相关基因上广泛存在的等位基因变异，是水稻育种的核心基础。得益于诸多基因功能研究的进展，如今已可通过理性设计引入已知等位基因，用于水稻品种改良。本研究对一个水稻群体的基因组进行了重测序，并构建了水稻的数量性状核苷酸（quantitative trait nucleotide, QTN）全面图谱。
