A paper entitled “Gramene QTL database: development, content and applications” has been published in Database: The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation. This paper “describe[s] the development of a quantitative trait loci (QTL) database and illustrate how it can be used to facilitate both the forward and reverse genetics research.”
The Gramene database project team is happy to announce beta release of the PlantGeneWiki. It is designed as an online community portal on plant genes and their annotations. Our goal for PlantGeneWiki is to generate community curated/annotated pages where the researchers can browse, search, read and manage the content by editing. Yes, the biggest advantage [...]
