The Gramene team is happy to announce interim release 34b. We have now added the reference genome for Cyanidioschyzon merolae 10D, a primitive unicellular red alga, which lives in acidic hot water (like hot springs), bringing us to 23 genomes. We updated the software of our Ensembl genome browser to version 65, updated the gene models for Physcomitrella patens (moss), updated the gene and prediction tables f

Responsibilities: Advances in biochemistry, metabolomics, and metabolic engineering, and the availability of genomic sequences for food crop species are opening new and valuable research opportunities for plant breeding. This molecular breeding position will have responsibility for conducting innovative research exploring genetic/epigenetic/quantitative variation in plants and the association with phenotypic variation in traits relating to human and animal health and nutrition made accessible by the latest technologies.

The developers of Flapjack have released a new version (1.11.12.13). Flapjack is a tool for visualizing genotypic and haplotype data that "can handle the large data volumes generated by high throughput SNP and comparable genotyping technologies." Gramene's diversity data sets are available in Flapjack format. We encourage you to extend your analysis of our data using tools like Flapjack.
