title = "Rice as a model for cereal genomics",
abstract = "Over the past two years, selected regions of the rice genome have been sequenced and shown to be colinear at the sequence level with limited regions of other cereal genomes. A large number of expressed gene sequences and molecular markers have accumulated in the public databases. Large insert clone libraries of the rice genome have been constructed, and rice has become an increasingly attractive candidate for whole genome sequencing.",

note = "Funding Information: National Science Foundation on World http://www.nsf.gov/bio/pubs/awarda/genome98,html Funding Information: Interest in sequencing the rice genome has also attracted much attention and planning. Workshops held in February and in April of 1998 described the formation of the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project [6,7], and outlined the research plans as well as the anticipated funding for this genome sequencing project. Although government funding agencies have recognized the possibility of advancing cereal genomics through specific rice genomics efforts [8], funding has suffered unexpected delays [9]. The delay in the initiation of rice genome sequencing within the US is probably due to the focus of federal funding on maize research. The perception of rice as an excellent model for cereal genomics may require further evidence before a large publicly funded genome project is fully supported.",
