Oryza sativa
Overview
The rice genome was sequenced because of it ’s major importance in the
world food industry and it ’s relatively small genome size. Since the first
sequenced plant genome (Arabidopsis thalia) was a dicotylous plant it made sense to sequence a monocot next to have a broad taxonomix sampling. Unlike many of the recently sequenced genomes the sequencing has been done using a BAC-by-BAC approach a very costly a labour intensive procedure. But this yields a very high quality genome that can be assembled into chromosomes.
