Abstract:
As a major food crop and model organism, rice has been mostly studied with the largest number of functionally characterized genes among all crops. We previously built the funRiceGenes database including ~ 2800 functionally characterized rice genes and ~ 5000 members of different gene families. Since being published, the funRiceGenes database has been accessed by more than 54,400 users with over 540,000 pageviews. The funRiceGenes database has been continuously updated with newly cloned rice genes and newly published literature, based on the progress of rice functional genomics studies. Up to Nov 2021, ~ 4100 functionally characterized rice genes and ~ 6000 members of different gene families were collected in funRiceGenes, accounting for 22.3% of the 39,045 annotated protein-coding genes in the rice genome. Here, we summarized the update of the funRiceGenes database with new data and new features in the last 5 years.
