We are pleased to announce release 7 of the Rice Pseudomolecules and Genome Annotation. The official release date for this version was October 31, Release 7 is a major update from release 6. The rice pseudomolecules have been reconstructed using an optimal BAC tiling path that involved use of a BAC-optical map and error correction of the underlying BAC sequence using next generation sequencing reads from Nipponbare rice.

There are the 12 chromosomes, one pseudomolecule representing the unanchored BAC clones, one pseudomolecule representing unmapped Syngenta sequences plus the two organellar genomes. In release 7, there were ,, bp of non-overlapping rice genome sequence from the 12 rice chromosomes. The genes that had been identified from release 6.

This process resulted in 55, genes loci had been identified, of which 6, had 10, additional alternative splicing isoforms resulting in a total of 66, transcripts or gene models in the rice genome. These loci 16, and their models 17, were annotated based on the Pfam domain or the nomenclature in the MSU Oryza Repeat Database.

In cooperation with researchers at the Agrogenomics Research Center at the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences , Tsukuba, Japan, we have prepared a final assembly of the rice pseudomolecules. This effort was undertaken in order to allow researchers to easily compare annotations from both projects. Gene loci, gene models and associated annotations created by RGAP and RAP-DB were independently derived, but the pseudomolecules used by the two rice annotation projects to generated those annotations are now identical and can be easily compared.

A manuscript describing the generation of the final rice pseudomolecule assembly is in preparation. While many researchers utilize the RGAP loci, gene models and transcripts in their own databases and genome browsers, these sites may have outdated annotation and may have modified or further annotated our official gene set.
