A whole-genome sequenced rice mutant resource for the study of biofuel feedstocks

A whole-genome sequenced rice mutant resource for the study of biofuel feedstocks 07/12/2017 10:39 AM EDT 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.
