Researchers 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.
