The wild relatives of rice have adapted to different ecological environments and constitute a useful reservoir of agronomic traits for genetic improvement. Here we present the ~777 Mb de novo assembled genome sequence of <i>Oryza granulata</i>. Recent bursts of long-terminal repeat retrotransposons, especially <i>RIRE2</i>, led to a rapid twofold increase in genome size after <i>O. granulata</i> speciation. Universal centromeric tandem repeats are absent within its centromeres, while <i>gypsy</i ...[more]
