Gramene release # 56b: updates to Plant Reactome

In Gramene release 56b, we present recent updates of Plant Reactome, the pathway portal of Gramene. We have added 22 newly curated pathways, 3 updated pathways, 8 newly projected species, and gene interaction data to Plant Reactome.

Plant Genome Evolution 2017, a Current Opinion in Plant Biology Conference, is currently being held at Meliá Sitges, Sitges (near Barcelona), Spain (1-3 October 2017).

Gene annotation and Reactome pathway curation jamboree in June 2017

Gramene encourages and supports researchers to learn how to annotate and format their data sets accurately for publication and deposition in the public repositories for its long-term utilization, re-use, re-analysis and interoperability.

Gramene webinar 11th April 2017: Overview, updates and new fireworks display in Plant Reactome

Plant Reactome (http://plantreactome.gramene.org/) is a freely available resource for comparative analyses of plant pathways. It features Oryza sativa (rice) as a reference species for the curation of cellular-level pathway networks by employing the Reactome data model. This reference set of curated rice pathways is being used to generate gene-orthology based pathway projections for 66 additional species.

Gramene Webinar Nov, 2016: Analysis and visualization of the plant gene Expression ATLAS data

The Gramene database is pleased to host another FREE 30-min webinar focused on "Analysis and visualization of the plant gene Expression ATLAS data using Gramene's Genome Browser and Plant Reactome." The plant gene Expression Atlas (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gxa/plant/experiments) was developed by our collaborators at EMBL-EBI.

Highlights of 14th ISRFG Conference, 26-29 Sept 2016

From September 26-29th 2016, rice researchers from around the globe gathered in Montpellier, France to participate in the 14th International Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics (ISRFG) to discuss recent advances and exciting breakthroughs in rice genome biology and how this knowledge is being applied to improve the yield, and quality of rice, a major cereal crop.

Gramene participating at the 14th ISRFG Conference, 26-29 Sept 2016

Representing Gramene, Dr. Sushma Naithani and Dr. Joshua Stein, will be available during the upcoming 14th International Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics in Montpellier, France on September 26-29, 2016. Dr. Naithani will present general updates to the Gramene Database and detailed navigation of the Plant Reactome database, a resource for comparative plant pathway analysis in the Bioinformatics Workshop ISRFG2016 on September 28th (Workshop Organizer: Dr. Francois Sabot).  Dr.

Gramene's impact on plant research in 2015-2016

Gramene database (www.gramene.org) offers resources for conducting comparative studies on plant genomes and pathways. Over the years, we have made efforts to reach out to the various communities of plant scientists and have assisted many individuals in using various tools/and resources available from the Gramene. We have also established connection between ours and other publicly available data sources. In year 2015 and 2016, Gramene has been cited ~90 times by various researchers.

2016 Basic DNA Biology and Bioinformatics STEM Camps

Dr. Pankaj Jaiswal (Co-PI of the NSF funded Gramene project) organized a basic DNA Biology and Bioinformatics STEM Summer Camps for 8-12 grade students from Jun 27th -July 1Ist.  To accomodate all applicants, two sessions of this camp were hosted.
