A Whole-Genome Sequenced Rice Mutant Resource for the Study of Biofuel Feedstocks

July 5, 2017

Genome-wide distribution of fast-neutron-induced mutations in the Kitaake rice mutant populationResearchers at the DOE Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI), part of the Biological Systems and Engineering (BSE) Division, in collaboration with the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) are reporting the first whole-genome sequenced 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. Read the press release at the Berkeley Lab News Center.
