Check our Gramene Oryza poster at the 19th International Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics (ISRFG 2022)

Twenty years ago, Oryza sativa became the first rice genome to be sequenced (Goff et al, 2002; Yu et al, 2002), and like so, the foundation of the Gramene database (https://www.gramene.org), a comparative genome mapping database for grasses and a community resource for rice (Ware et al, 2002).

Meetings & Conferences

International Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics, Nov. 4-7 of 2022 in Phuket, Thailand

The 19th International Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics (ISRFG 2022) will be held from November 4-7th at Le Meridien Beach Resort Hotel in Phuket, Thailand. The theme for the conference is “Driving the Next Green Revolution: New Frontiers in Food and Nutritional Security” and will focus on functional genomics underlying new traits/genes for adaptability under extreme climate changes and productivity of rice grown in environmentally friendly practices.

SorghumBase release 4 is out with updated gene and transcript names and synonyms for BTx623

SorghumBase (https://www.sorghumbase.org/) has just announced its 4th release (see release notes #4). This release included the genome assembly and annotation of the poplar tree, Populus trichocarpa v4.1 from JGI Phytozome, a dicot model plant that like sorghum, is also studied for drought tolerance and bioenergy production.
