New Maize and Rice variation data sets in Gramene build 35

Gramene release 35 includes variation data for Zea mays (maize) and Oryza glaberrima (African rice). The new maize variation data corresponds to the HapMap v2 set and comprises 55 million SNPs and indels identified in a collection of 103 pre-domesticated and domesticated Zea mays varieties, including a representative from the sister genus, Tripsacum dactyloides (Eastern gamagrass). The new rice variation set comprises ~1 million SNPs identified within 13 accessions of this species of domesticated African rice, and eight accessions of its wild progenitor, O. barthii, which were collected from widely distributed regions of Africa.
