With the availability of the rice genome sequence, rice research communities are entering a new era of plant functional genomics. The last decade has seen rapid worldwide progress on establishing platforms for rice functional genomic research. These platforms offer practical toolkits and genomic resources for high-throughput identification of genes and pathways. In this review, we summarize available genomic resources for functional analyses of the rice genome. These genomic resources include high-quality bacterial artificial chromosome libraries, large-scale expression sequence tags, full-length cDNA collections, large amounts of data on global expression profiles, various mutant libraries and integrated bioinformatics databases. We not only present the current status of genomic resources but also discuss their usage in elucidating gene functions of the rice genome.
随着水稻基因组序列的公布，水稻研究界正在进入一个新的植物功能基因组学时代。在过去的十年中，全世界在建立水稻功能基因组研究平台方面取得了快速进展。这些平台为高通量鉴定基因和途径提供了实用的工具包和基因组资源。在这篇综述中，我们总结了用于水稻基因组功能分析的现有基因组资源。这些基因组资源包括高质量的细菌人工染色体文库、大规模的表达序列标签、全长 cDNA 文库、大量的全球表达谱数据、各种突变体文库和综合生物信息学数据库。我们不仅介绍了基因组资源的现状，还讨论了它们在阐明水稻基因组基因功能方面的应用。
