Come meet the Gramene team and get the latest updates to Gramene’s comparative genomics and pathways visualization/mining tools to aid your research of plant models and crops!

The Gramene workshop will give a broad overview of Gramene’s database resources and use cases demonstrating many specific topics like how to:

The Gramene Team is pleased to announce its release #49. In collaboration with Ensembl Plants we are providing in this release:

• New EMS-derived mutation data for Sorghum bicolor (see example)

• New variation data for Oryza glumaepatula

Data Mining with Gramene!

The Gramene database (http://www.gramene.org) invites you to a FREE 30-min webinar on How to Extract Plant Genomic Data Using BioMart.

The webinar will demonstrate how to explore data for 39 plant reference genomes in the Gramene and Ensembl Plants databases, including sequence, gene structure and annotations such as protein domains and ontology associations, homologs, genetic and structural variations.

In  November 2015 Gramene Webinar, Matt Geniza, (a graduate student, Jaiswal Lab at Oregon State University) presented how to use standalone Perl script and command line protocols for Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) analysis. This option is for advanced users who are familiar with the Unix/Linux command line. Also, users are expected to have a SNP DATA file before proceeding for this exercise.

The Gramene project (www.gramene.org) team is pleased to announce its release #48b highlighting the new version of Plant Reactome database (http://plantreactome.gramene.org/). In this release the Plant Reactome database has expanded gene homology-based pathway projections to 58 plant species.
