Agricultural Data Curation Survey -- Your feedback matters!

Greetings on behalf of the Agricultural Data Curation project at the University of Maryland College of Information Studies. We are studying the data practices of agricultural researchers in multiple settings. As part of our project, we are conducting a survey of these communities.

We will ask you about your research practice, data management, reuse, and data sharing practices, in addition to some questions about the current state of research data management. This survey is voluntary and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

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.

Everything you wanted to know about plants synteny! -- Join our Gramene Webinar on February 7th

The Gramene Database invites you to a FREE 30-min webinar on Gramene Synteny.

During this webinar, we will present synteny data that Gramene generated and views rendered in the Gramene Ensembl genome browser. We will also touch base on the underlying process of synteny build to facilitate a better understanding of the data. We will uses concrete example to demonstrate the usefulness of this data type and how it can help user advance their research.
