What’s coming in Oryza PanGenome Release 5? 

Oryza PanGenome is due to be released in October 2022.

 

This fifth release of the Oryza PanGenome will include new synteny maps between rice varieties and across closely related crops, whole-genome alignments between the rice reference assembly, sorghum and maize, new links to the Oryza Search page from the Ensembl Gene pages, and updated display names for the rice genomes.

 

Updates and highlights:

  • Twenty-seven synteny maps between the IRGSP1 Nipponbare assembly and all rice accessions

  • New cross-species synteny maps between the Nipponbare assembly and Leersia, sorghum and maize

  • Whole-genome alignments between Nipponbare, sorghum and maize

  • Improved usability through direct links from the Ensembl Browser Gene pages to the Oryza Search pages

  • Updated nomenclature for naming of reference sequence assemblies based on standard recommendations from the NSF-DBI (#2029854): CIBR-BBSRC: PanOryza: Globally coordinated genomes, proteomes and pathways for rice
