A complete assembly of the rice Nipponbare reference genome

In 2005, the current commonly used rice reference genome (Oryza sativa ssp. japonica cv. Nipponbare) was initially released by the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (International Rice Genome Sequencing Project, 2005International Rice Genome Sequencing ProjectThe map-based sequence of the rice genome.Nature. 2005; 436: 793-800https://doi.org/10.1038/nature03895Crossref PubMed Scopus (3053) Google Scholar). Thereafter, the reference genome was further updated in 2013 with improved genome assembly (IRGSP-1.0) and gene annotations (MSU7, RAP-DB) (Kawahara et al., 2013Kawahara Y. de la Bastide M.
