Whole-genome sequencing of the traditional rice landrace Mappillai Samba (Oryza sativa L.)
This project presents the whole-genome sequencing of the traditional rice landrace Mappillai Samba (Oryza sativa L.), an indigenous rice variety of Tamil Nadu, India. The study investigates genome-wide genetic variation and genomic features of Mappillai Samba through high-throughput whole-genome sequencing, variant discovery, and functional annotation. The generated genomic data provide insights into the genomic architecture, functional variation, and adaptive genetic potential of this traditional rice landrace and establish a valuable resource for rice genetic diversity, conservation, and future crop improvement.
