Antonio, B.A. | Sakata, K. and Sasaki, T.
As rice genomics data continure to accumulate at a rapid rate, databases are becoming more valuable for storing and providing access to large and rigorous data sets. This chapter gives an overview of available resources on rice bioinformatics and their role in elucidating and propagating biological and genomic information on rice. Of paritular focus here is the informatics infrastructure developed at the Rice Genome Research Program (RGP) following an extensive rice genome analysis. The database named INE (INtegrated Rice Genome Explorer) integrates genetic and physical mapping information with the genome sequence being generated in collaboration with the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP). Database links are initially evaluated using a query tool to explore and compare data across the rice and maize genome databases and for potential application to multiple-crop database querying. A proposed logistics for interlinking these resources is presented to integrate, manipulate and analyze i formation on the rice genome. One of the biggest challenges of rice bioinformatics lies in the emerging role of rice as a model system among grass crop species. In view of the importance of comparative genomics in the formulation of new knowledge on plant genome structure and function, bioinformatics remains an essential strategy for gaining new insights into the needs and expectations of rice genomics.
