Whole-genome Nanopore sequencing of 15 founder lines, which, along with Nipponbare (the accession selected as rice reference genome), are the parents of a rice Nested Association Mapping (NAM) population.
Both Nanopore long-read sequencing and Illumina short-read sequencing are used for whole-genome de novo assembling of 15 diverse rice accessions to generate 15 reference-level genome sequences. A high-quality genome dataset would enable discoveries of genome structure and genetic variation. We also provide genome variation and gene annotation results for the 15 parental lines.
