A multinational research project, PanOryza, has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to re-establish international coordination and standardize the identification and annotation of genes in rice. The project will draw on the diversity of rice varieties to identify traits for local adaptation and resistance to environmental challenges. The research will involve re-annotating publicly available rice genomes and making the data freely available under FAIR data principles. The team will develop a pan-gene atlas for rice and integrate the genetic diversity dataset from the 3000 rice genome project, with the goal of improving rice quality and stress tolerance through plant breeding.

Researchers from Oregon State University and the University of Arizona in the USA, University of Liverpool and EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) in the UK, and CGIAR’s International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines were awarded a three-year international project funding by the joint panel of the National Science Foundation (NSF, USA) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC, UK). According to Pankaj Jaiswal, Professor in the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology and NSF project PI from Oregon State University (OSU), the project titled, CIBR:BBSRC: PanOryza: Globally coordinated genomes, proteomes, and pathways for rice, will re-establish international coordination to streamline, standardize and annotate the function and structure of genes identified by various independent efforts on sequencing the genomes of cultivated rice and wild relatives. Since rice is a staple for about 50% of the human population that continues to ...
