TL;DR: A map-based, finished quality sequence that covers 95% of the 389 Mb rice genome, including virtually all of the euchromatin and two complete centromeres, and finds evidence for widespread and recurrent gene transfer from the organelles to the nuclear chromosomes.

TL;DR: In this article, an automated eukaryotic gene structure annotation tool, EVM, is presented as a weighted consensus of all available evidence, combined with the Program to Assemble Spliced Alignments (PASA), yields a comprehensive, configurable annotation system that predicts protein coding genes and alternatively spliced isoforms.

TL;DR: A revised, error-corrected, and validated assembly of the Nipponbare cultivar of rice was generated using optical map data, re-sequencing data, and manual curation that will facilitate on-going and future research in rice.

TL;DR: Through incorporation of multiple transcript and proteomic expression data sets, the Institute for Genomic Research has been able to annotate 24 799 genes (31 739 gene models), representing ∼50% of the total gene models, as expressed in the rice genome.

TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of the model bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pathovar tomato DC3000 (DC3000), which is pathogenic on tomato and Arabidopsis thaliana, is reported and 1,159 genes unique to DC3000 are revealed, of which 811 lack a known function.
