We have produced a draft sequence of the rice genome for most widely cultivated subspecies in China, Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica , by whole-genome shotgun sequencing. The was 466 megabases size, with an estimated 46,022 to 55,615 genes. Functional coverage assembled sequences 92.0%. About 42.2% exact 20-nucleotide oligomer repeats, and transposons were intergenic regions between Although 80.6% predicted Arabidopsis thaliana genes had homolog rice, only 49.4% A. . large proportion no recognizable homologs is due gradient GC content coding sequences.
