摘要
Dear Editor,Rice(Oryza sativa)is one of the most important crops in the worldand a common model plant for genomic research.The genomesofXian/IndicaandGeng/Japonicahave been completelysequenced and annotated with accurate genome information.Over the past few years,epigenomic information,including DNAmethylation,histone modification,and chromatin accessibility,has been characterized in theXian/IndicaandGeng/Japonicage-nomes(Zhao et al.,2020).Quite a few rice three-dimensionalgenome studies have been published in the meantime(Zhaoet al.,2019).However,it is still a big challenge for many groupsthat lack dedicated bioinformatic personnel or sufficientcomputational resources to utilize such epigenetic data.
