The Gramene Team is pleased to announce its release #42. In collaboration with Ensembl Plants we are providing in this release:
New & updated genomes
- Six new genomes:
- Theobroma cacao (cacao or "chocolate tree")
- Ostreococcus lucimarinus (a unicellular green alga)
- Leersia perrieri (a wild grass)
- O. longistaminata (a wild rice)
- Oryza rufipogon (brownbeard rice)
- Brassica oleracea (species cultivars include kale, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts)
- Updated assembly and gene build for Oryza barthii (wild rice).
- Chloroplast genomes for three wheat related genomes and mitochondrial genome for bread wheat.
New & updated pathways (Plant Reactome)
- New auxin signaling pathway in rice.
- Nine amino acid pathways updated by incorporating recent literature and genes & compartment re-assignments.
- New & updated orthology-based projections of rice pathways to 17 plant genomes in Gramene.
New & updated data
- Split gene predictions for 37 plant reference genomes based on the latest Ensembl Compara data.
- ncRNA annotation for bread wheat.
- Probes from the Affymetrix barley genome array aligned to barley.
- New maize variation data based on Panzea release 2.7.
- New sorghum variation data from Mace et al (2013).
- New bread wheat variation data from Axiom, iSelect and KASP array sets.
- Two transcriptome datasets from diploid einkorn wheat (T. monococcum cv DV92 and G3116) aligned to barley, bread wheat and Triticum urartu genomes using STAR.
- TriFLDB full-length cDNA sequences aligned to bread wheat genome.
- New whole genome alignments for bread wheat against barley.
- Updated gene-trees across 38 species.
- Updated GO term and gene name projection from Arabidopsis thaliana to all dicots.
- Updated gene, sequence and variation BioMarts.
- Updated genome browser, database schema and API to Ensembl version 76.
A complete description of the contents of this new release is available in our release notes.
