The Gramene team is happy to announce the release of our 29th build. We have upgraded our Ensembl genome browser to version 52 and added or updated six genomes (Arabidopsis lyrata, Vitisvinifera [grape], Populus trichocarpa [poplar], Sorghum bicolor, Oryza glaberrima short arm, Arabidosis thaliana updated to TAIR8). We feature new mappings of selected plant sequences to our 9 sequenced genomes and a reorganization of the cereal alignment contigview tracks as well as the results of our new whole genome alignments from Ensembl's blastz-chain-net pipeline.
