• 19-JAN-11, Annotation and genome sequence for the latest release 5a.59 of the B73 Maize Genome is now available from PlantsDB MGSP Maize database. The sequence and annotation was published in Science and downloaded from maizesequence.org.
• 14-JAN-2011, The genomeZipper and the physical map of barley are now online !!!
• FEB-2010, PlantsDB was unavailable due to hardware problems over the last weekend (March 6-8). We fixed the defective hardware and all services should be up again. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
• FEB-2010, Brachypodium genome paper released! Read the Nature paper here or visit our Brachypodium genome database.
• Pre-release of the assembled draft Tomato genome sequence. We are happy to announce the public pre-release of the assembled draft genome sequence of Solanum lycopersicum cv. Heinz 1706 in version 1.0. To download data and for details and data usage policy please visit tomDB.
• Annotation and genome sequence for the B73 Maize Genome is now available from PlantsDB MGSP Maize database. The sequence and annotation was published in Science and downloaded from maizesequence.org.
• The PlantsDB rice database MOsDB was updated to release 6.1 of the MSU Rice Genome Annotation Project, replacing its precursor rice TIGR release 5.0. For details please review the MSU project and news website. Beside the MSU v6.1 sequences and annotation (type 'transcript') you still find the IRGSP/RAP2 sequences and annotation (type 'transcript_IRGSP') as well as the MIPS annotation on a limited contig stretch (type 'transcript MIPS', from the GenomeResearch paper Pubmed ID 16902087).
• The Medicago Genome Sequence Consortium (MGSC) is pleased to release assembly Mt3.0. Central data access point for the annotation can be found here. For data access to previous MT releases (Mt1 and Mt2) please visit the old Medicago truncatula website.
• TAIR 9 is now available from MATDB. For details about the TAIR 9 release please visit TAIR home page. With the latest TAIR 9 release we do not show older TAIR release versions (TAIR7 and TAIR8) or the outdated MAtDB annotation any more. In case you need some data from these releases for your work please contact Manuel Spannagl.
