Since 1991, the Rice Genome Research Program in Japan has carried out rice genomics, such as large-scale cDNA analysis, construction of a fine-scale restriction fragment length polymorphism map, and physical mapping of the rice genome with yeast artificial chromosome clones. These studies have made a great impact on research into grass genomes and made rice a model plant for other cereal crop research. Starting in 1998, the Rice Genome Research Program will step into a new stage of genomics-that of genome sequencing. This project eventually should reveal all of the genomic sequence information in the rice plant and be an indispensable aid in understanding the genomics of other grass species.
自1991年以来,日本的水稻基因组研究计划开展了水稻基因组学研究,如大规模cDNA分析、构建精细的限制性片段长度多态性图谱以及利用酵母人工染色体克隆对水稻基因组进行物理图谱绘制。这些研究对禾本科植物基因组研究产生了巨大影响,使水稻成为其他谷类作物研究的模式植物。从1998年开始,水稻基因组研究计划将步入基因组学的新阶段——基因组测序阶段。该项目最终应揭示水稻植株的所有基因组序列信息,并成为理解其他禾本科物种基因组学的不可或缺的助力。
