Here we report low-coverage sequencing for 950 diverse rice accessions. We develop a framework for haplotype-based de novo assembly, phenotyped the 950 lines for 11 agronomic traits and used this information to conduct genome-wide association studies. We identify 32 new loci associated with these traits. The key members of this job include Professor Bin Han (the leader of NCGR), Xuehui Huang, Yan Zhao, and Dr. Xinghua Wei (collaborator). Congratulations!
