OryzaGenome provides genome sequence information for 21 wild Oryza species together with several cultivated strain reference sequences. As of the OryzaGenome release 1.0 (on June 19, 2015), SNP information of 446 accessions of O. rufipogon is presented. Chromosome view, genome sequences and gene annotations are provided based on the latest reference Nipponbare genome, IRGSP version 1.0.

Following these SNP data, we plan to build and release pseudo-molecules and/or genome–wide variation information for an additional 20 wild Oryza species and accessions from the NIG/NBRP collection in the near future.

Release 1.0 contents

• 17 deep NGS genome sequences comprising eleven O. rufipogon accessions and two O. longistaminata accessions (W1413 and W1508) resequenced at 10x〜20x depth, mapped and each covering about 80-90% of the genome are shown (performed by the NIG group and will be published soon). Three cultivated strains: O. sativa, japonica, Nipponbare (NIG stock), indica, Guangluai-4 and japonica, Nongken-58 sequenced in our previous work [1], and one more cultivar, the Aus-type Kasalath sequenced by Sakai et al [2], were also mapped and aligned for reference.
• Low coverage data of 446 accessions of O. rufipogon, the direct ancestors of cultivated rice O. sativa, were incorporated from our publication [1] and re-mapped onto IRGSP ver1.0. Although most of the 446 wild accessions were sequenced at only about 1x genome depth covering less than 10% of the genome, based on the mapped sequences of all 446 accessions, SNPs were imputed (method reported in [3]) and reconstructed about 30% of the genome of each accession (SNPs located at 200bp intervals on average). These imputed SNPs were proven to show high accuracy, with a probability of more than 98%. The raw data of illumina Hi-seq2000 genome reads for each accession can be retrieved from the archives with the indicated DRR, DRA or ERA numbers in the accession list.
