National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences, RIKEN Co-Develop DNA Book of 30,000 Rice Genomes.


Tokyo, Japan, Oct 21, 2005 - (JCNN) - On October 19, the National Institute of Agrobiological ag·ro·bi·ol·o·gy

 Sciences (NIRS) and RIKEN RIKEN Rikagaku Kenkyusho (Institute of Physical and Chemical Research, Japan)  jointly announced that they have created Rice Full-Length cDNA Encyclopedia DNABook, a printed book that includes full-length DNAs of rice.

The book, which provides 32,000 rice genomes, is a contribution to the field of plant bioscience. It can be stored at room temperature.

If necessary, by conducting PCR PCR polymerase chain reaction.

Going forward, the two partners will distribute the DNA DNA: see nucleic acid.

One of two types of nucleic acid (the other is RNA); a complex organic compound found in all living cells and many viruses. It is the chemical substance of genes.
