Abstract
Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) fingerprint and end-sequenced physical maps representing the ten genome types of Oryza are presented
We describe the establishment and analysis of a genus-wide comparative framework composed of 12 bacterial artificial chromosome fingerprint and end-sequenced physical maps representing the 10 genome types of
Oryza
aligned to the
O. sativa
ssp.
japonica
reference genome sequence. Over 932 Mb of end sequence was analyzed for repeats, simple sequence repeats, miRNA and single nucleotide variations, providing the most extensive analysis of
Oryza
sequence to date.
