Improved protein-coding gene family trees available in Gramene's Oryza PanGenome release 3.1

Gramene's Oryza Pan-Genome (https://oryza.gramene.org) is a web portal for comparative plant genomics focused on rice varieties. In its release 3.1, the gene family trees were rebuilt using the same species included in release 3.0 with superior quality.

A total of 37,423 GeneTree families were constructed comprising 1,134,514 individual genes (1,187,461 input proteins). See updated stats here.

Call for Workshop Proposals for PAG Asia 2022

In response to the expanding global population, worldwide climate changes, and dramatic plant and animal genome research occurring in Asia Pacific, the organizers of the Plant and Animal Genome Conference are planning a short version of PAG.

Due to the current circumstances and COVID-19 concerns, the 2022 conference will be entirely virtual, and held online during business hours (Bejing time zone) June 22-24, 2022.

Discounted registration by Feb 17 for the NCGR 2022 Virtual Bioinformatics Workshop on Pangenomics on Feb 28 – Mar 4

NCGR 2022 Virtual Bioinformatics Workshop on Pangenomics

 

WHEN
Feb 28 - Mar 4, 2022 (5 days)

 

TOPIC OVERVIEW
The proliferation of reference quality genome assemblies within any single species has necessitated the need for pangenome analyses. Such analyses remove reference-bias and elucidate biological signals at a more comprehensive population scale. In this workshop, students will learn what exactly a pangenome is, how to build a pangenome, and how to perform fundamental bioinformatic analyses on pangenomic data.
