Sequence-tagged connector/DNA fingerprint frameworkfor rice genome sequencingR.A. Wing, Yeisoo Yu, G. Presting, D. Frisch, T. Wood, Sung-Sick Woo, M. Arief Budiman,Long Mao, Hye Ran Kim, T. Rambo, E. Fang, B. Blackmon, J.L. Goicoechea, S. Higingbottom,M. Sasinowski, J. Tomkins, R.A. Dean, C. Soderlund, W.R. McCombie, R. Martienssen,M. de la Bastide, R. Wilson, and D. JohnsonThe CCW <strong>Rice</strong> Genome Sequencing Consortium is funded to sequence andannotate the short arms of rice chromosomes 10 and 3—approximately 30Mb of DNA. To efficiently sequence the rice genome, the Clemson UniversityGenomics <strong>Institute</strong> has developed a framework consisting of two deep-coveragebacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries and BAC fingerprint, genome-anchoring,and sequence-tagged connector databases. These resourceshave been provided to the <strong>International</strong> <strong>Rice</strong> Genome Sequencing Projectand are being used extensively. In this chapter, we summarize the frameworkproject and its use to sequence the short arm of chromosome 10.<strong>Rice</strong> is one of the most important food crops in the world. Its compact genome, evolutionaryrelationship with other cereals, and sophisticated molecular genetic toolshave made sequencing the rice genome a top priority for plant science. As part of the<strong>International</strong> <strong>Rice</strong> Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP: http://rgp.dna.affrc.go.jp/Seqcollab.html), the CCW <strong>Rice</strong> Genome Sequencing Consortium (Clemson UniversityGenomics <strong>Institute</strong> [CUGI], Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory [CSHL], and WashingtonUniversity Genome Sequencing Center [WU-GSC]) was funded in 1999 tosequence the short arms of rice chromosomes 10 and 3. Together with The <strong>Institute</strong>for Genomic <strong>Research</strong> (TIGR) and the Plant Genome Initiative at Rutgers (PGIR—3Mb of chromosome 10), we are scheduled to complete chromosome 10 by the end of2001 and chromosome 3 by the end of 2002.Here we present the development of a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)/fingerprint/sequence-tagged connector framework to sequence the rice genome and asummary of CCW’s rice genome sequencing project.Sequence-tagged connector/DNA fingerprint . . . 215
