Hypothesis
The collection and analysis of indica cDNAs are essential for rice genetics and breeding.
Conclusion
The online rice indica cDNA database provides comprehensive information to researchers for functional analysis of indica subspecies and for comparative genomics.
Supporting Evidence
- The database includes over 20,000 full-length cDNAs and over 40,000 ESTs.
- It allows users to query cDNA clones by various methods including keyword and genome position.
- The database integrates information from multiple rice genomic resources.
Takeaway
Scientists created a special online database to help researchers find and study important rice genes.
Methodology
The database was developed using MySQL and PHP, integrating cDNA sequences from various libraries.
Limitations
The database primarily focuses on indica varieties and may not include all rice genetic variations.
