COPLBI-1056; NO. OF PAGES 6 Available online at Sequencing-based genome-wide association study in rice Bin Han and Xuehui Huang Rice, which has a modest genome size, is a wonderful model genetic dissections of the traits were performed mainly crop that has been comprehensively studied in functional through classical biparental cross mapping. However, due genomics. With vast germplasm resources and reduced to limits in both recombination numbers and traditional sequencing cost, genome-wide association study (GWAS) has genotyping methods, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were been feasible to explore the allelic variation underlying generally mapped with a low resolution (typically with agronomic traits in rice. In this review, we firstly summarize the several mega bases in distance) [3,4]. work on constructing GWAS platforms in human genetics and inArabidopsis and maize, from which we have a lot to learn. We The advent of the next generation sequencing (NGS) then discuss the sequencing strategies and experimental technologies allows genome-wide genetic variation dis- designs for GWAS of agronomic traits in rice, and the covery and genotyping in a highly efficient way.
