Web Portal for Comparative Plant Genomics
June 11, 2009| |
The US Department of Energy Joint Gene Institute (DOE JGI) has released an enhanced version of Phytozome.net, a web portal for comparative plant genomics geared to advance biofuel, food, feed, and fiber research. The web portal now spans 14 plant genomes, including the genomes of soybean, sorghum, rice, papaya and grape as well as maize bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) sequences. Phytozome 4.0 includes tools for visualization of plant genomes and associated annotations, sequence analysis, and bulk, as well as targeted, plant data retrieval.
Visit the web portal at http://www.phytozome.net. For more information, read http://www.jgi.doe.gov/News/news_09_05_28.html
