In addition to preserving different strains of rice, the Institute of Molecular Biology is also working to further decode the rice genome by finding disrupted genes, recording their characteristics and other biodata, and entering the information into a database.
保存種子外，分生所還會進一步「解序」，找出被破壞的基因，再一一記錄其性狀等生物資訊，建立資料庫。
