Gramene is please to contribute to the Plant Genome Resources exhibition booth at the upcoming Plant Biology 2010 meeting July 31 – August 3. We join the Plant Ontology Consortium, Solanaceae Genomics Network, Maize GDB, The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR), and the Bio-Array Resource for Plant Functional Genomics to share resources for sequenced genomes, [...]
US residents and researchers may apply for travel awards to attend a Gene Annotation Workshop to be held at the ASPB’s Plant Biology 2010 meeting (July 31 – August 4, 2010, Montreal, Canada). If selected, the travel award will cover the cost of the Plant Biology 2010 meeting registration cost. We expect to award [...]
Genome sequencing continues to become less expensive and faster which is great news for researchers; however, manipulating and storing vast amounts of sequence data has become a challenge. Version 4.0 of the Genomic Diversity and Phenotype Data Model (GDPDM) database schema has a solution. Instead of storing individual SNP values, the 4.x version stores [...]
In order to facilitate the community curation of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL), the Gramene team has published a proposed QTL load file format and instructions for submitting new QTL to Gramene for inclusion in our QTL database and comparative maps. If you have any questions or comments about this proposal, please write gramene@gramene.org.
Dr. Pamela Ronald (UC Davis) recently "posted a time-lapse video (4 months) showing the performance of a genetically improved rice in a flooded field plot at the International Rice Research Institute" that we thought would be interesting to share. For a complete description of the "submergence tolerance (Sub1) rice," please see her blog.
We would like to invite the attendees of the 9th International Plant Molecular Biology (IPMB) Congress to be held from October 25-30, 2009 in St. Louis, MO, USA to the Gramene Database and Plant Ontology Workshop. The workshop is free and open to everyone.
Workshop Title: Comparative Plant Genomics with the Gramene database and Plant Ontology [...]
