Rice is the principal staple food and is grown worldwide. It has high genetic diversity within genus and species and the wise use of rice diversity is a major factor for improved production. hence exploring the diversity at the genome level is required. A genome sequence program to sequence known diversity across the species was launched by the collaboration of CAAS (Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences), BGI (Beijing Genomics Institute), and IRRI (International Rice Research Institute) and named “The 3K rice genome project.” The 3K rice genome project is the giga‐dataset of the genome that is available publicly (averaging 14× depth of coverage), derived from 3K rice accession which are genetically and functionally diverse set collected from 89 countries. The aim of the 3K rice genome project was that the new population‐specific genotyping arrays will be helpful for the genetic as well as breeding application and reveal population structure (Li et al. 2014a).
