Résumé
Près de quatre ans après le lancement d’un consortium public international, l’International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP), le génome du riz est pratiquement complètement séquencé. Il s’agit du deuxième génome végétal, après celui d’Arabidopsis thaliana, et l’on peut espérer qu’il est représentatif des génomes de céréales. Cependant, pas moins de quatre séquences, plus ou moins élaborées, ont été réalisées indépendamment, résultant d’une intense compétition économico-politico-médiatique. On peut s’interroger sur l’efficacité et l’impact de cette façon de conduire des projets de grande envergure. Cet article retrace le déroulement du séquençage du génome du riz et analyse ce que nous commençons à en apprendre.
Summary
Nearly 4 years after launching the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP), the rice genome sequence is almost completed. This is the second plant genome after Arabidopsis thaliana and one expect that it is more representative of other cereal genomes. Indeed, no more than 4 sequences have been independently reported as a result of a tough competition between economy, politics and media. The efficiency and impact of this way of managing a large scale project is questionable. This paper reports the various phases in sequencing rice genome as well as what we start to learn.
