BACKGROUND: As the transformation process can induce mutations in host plants, molecular characterization of the associated genomic changes is important not only for practical food safety but also for understanding the fundamental theories of genome evolution. OBJECTIVES: To investigate a population-scale comparative study of the genome-wide spectrum of sequence variants in the transgenic genome with the variations present in 3000 rice varieties. RESULTS: On average, we identified 19,273 SNPs (including Indels) per transgenic line in which 10,729 SNPs were at the identical locations in the three transgenic rice plants. We found that these variations were predominantly present in specific regions in chromosomes 8 and 10. Majority (88%) of the identified variations were detected at the same genomic locations as those in natural rice population, implying that the transgenic induced mutations had a tendency to be common alleles. CONCLUSION: Genomic variations in transgenic rice plants frequently occurred at the same sites as the major alleles found in the natural rice population, which implies that the sequence variations occur within the limits of a biological system to ensure survival.
