To accelerate and to broaden the scope of the rice genomic and genetic research, and to determine quantitative trait loci for the vegetative growth or vigor of the Chinese hybrid cultivars from indica cultivars, we set out to sequence the rice genome.
(3) 42% of the rice genome was masked as repetitive by using exact 20-mer repeats identified by RePS. The high proportion of identifiable repetitive sequences and their high copy numbers suggest that a significant fraction of the repeats in the rice genome are recent in origin or biologically active.
