Compara

Gene Trees

  • The EnsemblCompara GeneTree database was updated. The new database includes a total of 56,387 GeneTree families were constructed comprising 1,280,368 individual genes (1,432,406 input proteins) from 39 plant genomes (and 5 non-plant outgroups).

  • The OGE Compara tree was not updated at oge.gramene.org. Last update was done in release 38 (August 2013). Note: The OGE Compara tree was pulled out from the website since they were build on the obsolete MSU6 genome assembly.

Pathway Release Notes

"Cyc" Pathways

  • BioCyc-based pathway databases on Pathway Tools ver. 19.0 are available from a virtual server hosted at iPlant.

Summary tables for the Cyc pathway databases created by Gramene can be seen in release 46 notes.

Ontologies Release Notes

No updates in this release. Last update done in release 31 (May 2010). A summary of ontologies data was last provided in release 46.

Infrastructure

Web Services

Gramene's web services page documents many ways to directly connect to and analyze our databases.

Programmatic access to Gramene is now available through the RESTful Ensembl API.

Public MySQL Server

Our partner Ensembl Genomes offer a public, read-only MySQL server with copies of the species-specific and comparative genomic databases that we use. To use this with the mysql command-line client:

$ mysql -hmysql-eg-publicsql.ebi.ac.uk -P4157 -uanonymous

Please note that the versioning scheme used at this public database differs from ours; Gramene's release 48_82 is set as version 29_82.

Gramene currently a legacy public, read-only MySQL server for release 40 of our databases. You can connect to the host "gramenedb.gramene.org" with the password "gramene," e.g.:

mysql -hgramenedb.gramene.org -pgramene
