RiceGAAS (Rice Genome Automated Annotation System) collects the rice genome 
entries in GenBank.

Please see the following URLs about RiceGAAS.

RiceGAAS collects the rice genome entries from the daily-update in GenBank 
database. The collection rules are as follows;

      SOURCE  =  "oryza  sativa"
     and
      9999bp  <  [sequence  size]  <  1Mbp
     not
      DIVISION=  "GSS"  or  "STS"

Each entry from GenBank is categorized into the anchored chromosome, or 
"unknown" if it dose not have any chromosomal information.

Two data set as shown below are made every week.

    GenBank  files
    FASTA  files

-  FTP  files

   Data directories in the ftp file above have GenBank files and FASTA files  
   containing the following files below.

-  FASTA files contain only the sequence data picked up from GenBank files,
   with comment lines as follows;

   >[Accession No.] ([clone name]) [chromosome No.] [location(cM)] [size(bp)]

   The "location" means the position on the genetic map by RGP shown in the 
   web pages.
