The Gramene Team is pleased to announce its release #48. In collaboration with Ensembl Plants we are providing in this release:

• New ATLAS gene expression annotations

• New pairwise alignment between Solanum tuberosum and S. lycopersicum (build 2.50)

• New pairwise alignments between Theobroma cacao and: 1) Arabidopsis thaliana, 2) Oryza sativa, and 3) Vitis vinifera

The 13th International Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics (ISRFG) conference was organized by the National Key Laboratory of Crop Genetic Improvement at Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, China, from the 21st to the 24th of September 2015.

Have a BLAST with Gramene!

The Gramene database invites you to a FREE 30-min webinar on Gramene BLAST.

This webinar will highlight important features of the sequence BLAST tool and demonstrate how to maximize your chances of getting the best BLAST hits. The tool allows aligning query sequences against genomic DNA, cDNAs and translated peptides of 39 plant genomes in Gramene.

A new Plant Ontology (PO) data release is available on the PO browser.

See the highlights in the PO's News blog and complete details in PO's release notes.

The Gramene Team is pleased to announce its release #47 featuring the new Plant Reactome, we are providing version 3 of the Reactome software platform. Notable new features include:

• Data analysis tools

  • Diagram overlay visualization of gene lists, Uniprot IDs, compound identifiers, and/or -omics expression data

  • Inter-species pathway comparison

• Advanced search features built on the Apache Solr platform

Tuesday, August 18, 2015 11:00:00 AM PDT - 11:30:00 AM PDT

This session will showcase the pathway analysis tools provided with the latest version of the Plant Reactome web site and database (http://plantreactome.gramene.org). Learn how to upload and visualize genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolic data on pathway diagrams, extract related statistics, and compare pathway-level homology between rice and other species.

CSHL Information Technology will be performing some network maintenance on the early morning of Friday, August 7th. The maintenance will interrupt network access to Gramene's servers, affecting local and Internet access to the machines.

UPDATE: The work will be performed between 12:00 - 12:30 AM EDT.

Please plan accordingly. We apologize for the inconvenience.
