Rice is the most important food crop in the world and an important experimental system for genomics research. The completion of the genome sequence of rice in December 2004 will open a new and exciting chapter in the quest to functionally characterize all of the approximately 50,000 genes in rice. A systematic approach to characterizing these genes will allow dissection and understanding of regulatory networks and evolutionary selection events controlling such complex traits as yield, biotic and abiotic stresses, reproductive barriers, epigenetics and flowering time. To celebrate the completion of the rice genome and learn about the latest developments in structural, functional and evolutionary genomics research, the Second Annual Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics will be held in Tucson, Arizona, on November 15 - 17, 2004. The international organizing committee includes 16 rice scientists from 9 different countries. Themes to be covered include functional genomics, comparative genomics, genome sequencing and annotation, genetics and rice breeding, proteomics and metabolomics, biotic and abiotic stress, and diseases of rice. After the meeting, up to 10 will be hosted for a week of training on Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) library construction and screening, physical mapping of genomes, sequencing, annotation, and microarray analysis. Priority will be given to researchers from developing countries, young investigators and scientists from small institutions.

水稻是世界上最重要的粮食作物，也是基因组学研究的重要实验系统。2004年12月完成的水稻基因组序列将开启一个新的令人兴奋的篇章，寻求对水稻大约50,000个基因的所有功能进行表征。系统地描述这些基因的方法将使人们能够剖析和理解控制产量、生物和非生物胁迫、生殖障碍、表观遗传学和开花时间等复杂性状的调控网络和进化选择事件。为了庆祝水稻基因组的完成，并了解结构、功能和进化基因组研究的最新进展，第二届水稻功能基因组学年度研讨会将于2004年11月15-17日在亚利桑那州图森市举行。国际组委会包括来自9个不同国家的16名水稻科学家。将涵盖的主题包括功能基因组学、比较基因组学、基因组测序和注释、遗传学和水稻育种、蛋白质组学和代谢组学、生物和非生物胁迫以及水稻疾病。会议结束后，将主办多达10个人参加为期一周的培训，内容涉及细菌人工染色体(BAC)文库的构建和筛选、基因组的物理图谱、测序、注释和微阵列分析。将优先考虑来自发展中国家的研究人员、年轻的研究人员和来自小型机构的科学家。
