Detection of copy number variations in rice using array-based comparative genomic hybridization

ABSTRACT: Copy number variations (CNVs) can create new genes, change gene dosage, reshape gene structures, and modify elements regulating gene expression. As with all types of genetic variation, CNVs may influence phenotypic variation and gene expression. CNVs are thus considered major sources of genetic variation. Little is known, however, about their contribution to genetic variation in rice. To detect CNVs, we used a set of NimbleGen whole-genome comparative genomic hybridization arrays containing 715,851 oligonucleotide probes with a median probe spacing of 500 bp. We compiled a high-resolution map of CNVs in the rice genome, showing 641 CNVs between the genomes of the rice cultivars M-bM-^@M-^XNipponbareM-bM-^@M-^Y (from O. sativa ssp. japonica) and M-bM-^@M-^XGuang-lu-ai 4M-bM-^@M-^Y (from O.
