Welcome to MaizeSequence.orgThis site provides sequence and annotation of the Zea mays ssp. mays genome resulting from the Maize Genome Sequencing Project. The browser is based on the July 2005 release of the AGI Agarose FPC Map and on BAC clone sequences contained therein. Sequencing of the B73 cultivar commenced in November 2005 as part of a 3-year multi-institutional collaboration funded jointly by the NSF, USDA, and DOE. The strategy is to individually sequence a set BAC clones across a minimal-tiling path. Gene space will be identified and sequenced to finished quality. Read more about the Maize Genome Project or view the current sequencing progress. Our goal is to provide full and up-to-date access to all sequenced maize data. In addition to the latest sequenced BAC clones, the site presents preliminary annotations that are computationally derived from the sequence data. Annotations include predicted genes, markers, repeats, and expressed and conserved regions. The site presents convenient entry points into the maize genome:
