Abstract We have produced a draft sequence of the rice genome for the most widely
cultivated subspecies in China, Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica, by whole-genome
shotgun sequencing. The genome was 466 megabases in size, with an estimated
46,022 to 55,615 genes. Functional coverage in the assembled sequences was
92.0%. About 42.2% of the genome was in exact 20-nucleotide oligomer repeats,
and most of the transposons were in the intergenic regions between genes.
Although 80.6% of predicted Arabidopsis thaliana genes had a homolog in rice,
only 49.4% of predicted rice genes had a homolog in A. thaliana. The large
proportion of rice genes with no recognizable homologs is due to a gradient in
the GC content of rice coding sequences.
