Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The first complete genome sequence of rice (Oryza sativa) was published in 2002, marking the first crop genome to be sequenced. This milestone laid the groundwork for the Gramene database (http://www.gramene.org), which initially served as the sole comparative genome mapping resource for grasses and has provided access to rice genome diversity for over 20 years. Numerous rice genomes with various agriculturally important traits have since been sequenced, culminating in the development of the pan-genome site GrameneOryza (https://oryza.gramene.org) in 2008. In collaboration with institutions like AGI, MSU, USDA-ARS, and consortia such as IRRI, RAPDB, I-OMAP, and PanOryza, GrameneOryza has advanced rice genomics by offering tools for comparative genomics, including sequence alignment, gene annotation, genetic marker information, gene trees, gene function projections, and synteny maps. It also integrates with other plant databases to enhance its utility. GrameneOryza features 28 Oryza genomes, including domesticated African rice, the MAGIC16 collection, short life cycle KitaakeX, and heirloom US Carolina Gold Rice. Release 8 includes 31M SNPs from EVA, 6.5M SNPs from the USDA Mini-Core Collection, and 12M SNPs from the World Rice and Japanese Rice Collections, along with expression and pathway information on reference IRGSP1. The inclusion of Oryza CLIMtools provides access to environment-genome associations and correlations for a large pool of curated Oryza genotypes. New Germplasm and Sequences tabs offer quick access to germplasm with loss-of-function alleles, gene, transcript, and protein sequences. GrameneOryza coordinates data stewardship, training, and feedback with the community and is funded by 8062-21000-051-000D.
