The Rice Genome Research Program (RGP) launched a large-scale rice genome sequencing in 1998 aimed at decoding all genetic information in rice. A new genome database called INE (INtegrated rice genome Explorer) has been developed in order to integrate all the genomic information that has been accumulated so far and to correlate these data with the genome sequence. A web interface based on Java applet provides a rapid viewing capability in the database. The first operational version of the database has been completed which includes a genetic map, a physical map using YAC (Yeast Artificial Chromosome) clones and PAC (P1-derived Artificial Chromosome) contigs. These maps are displayed graphically so that the positional relationships among the mapped markers on each chromosome can be easily resolved. INE incorporates the sequences and annotations of the PAC contig. A site on low quality information ensures that all submitted sequence data comply with the standard for accuracy. As a repository of rice genome sequence, INE will also serve as a common database of all sequence data obtained by collaborating members of the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP). The database can be accessed at http://www. dna.affrc.go.jp:82/giot/INE. html or its mirror site at http://www.staff.or.jp/giot/INE.html
水稻基因组研究计划(RGP)于1998年启动了一项大规模水稻基因组测序项目,旨在解码水稻的所有遗传信息。为了整合迄今为止积累的所有基因组信息,并将这些数据与基因组序列相关联,一个名为INE(综合水稻基因组浏览器)的新基因组数据库已经开发出来。基于Java小程序的网络界面提供了在数据库中的快速查看功能。该数据库的第一个运行版本已经完成,其中包括一个遗传图谱、一个使用酵母人工染色体(YAC)克隆和P1衍生人工染色体(PAC)重叠群的物理图谱。这些图谱以图形方式显示,以便能够轻松解析每条染色体上定位标记之间的位置关系。INE整合了PAC重叠群的序列和注释。一个低质量信息站点确保所有提交的序列数据符合准确性标准。作为水稻基因组序列的储存库,INE还将作为国际水稻基因组测序计划(IRGSP)合作成员获得的所有序列数据的通用数据库。该数据库可通过http://www.dna.affrc.go.jp:82/giot/INE.html或其镜像站点http://www.staff.or.jp/giot/INE.html访问。
