Abstract

The National Agricultural Biotechnology Information Center (NABIC) in South Korea reconstructed a RiceQTLPro database for gene positional analysis and structure prediction of the chromosomes. This database is an integrated web-based system providing information about quantitative trait loci (QTL) markers in rice plant. The RiceQTLPro has the three main features namely, (1) QTL markers list, (2) searching of markers using keyword, and (3) searching of marker position on the rice chromosomes. This updated database provides 112 QTL markers information with 817 polymorphic markers on each of the 12 chromosomes in rice.

Availability: The database is available for free at http://nabic.rda.go.kr/gere/rice/geneticMap/

Keywords: QTL database; genetic map; quantitative trait loci marker.
