Welcome to the tomato genome database
∗∗∗UPDATE 26 February 2010: Limited public release of the ITAG annotation on VERSION 1.00 of the assembled draft genome sequence of Solanum lycopersicum cv. Heinz 1706 available∗∗∗
We are happy to announce the limited public release of the gene predictions performed by ITAG on VERSION 1.00 of the assembled draft genome
sequence of Solanum lycopersicum.
Please note that at this time we release the annotation on a gene-per-gene-basis only (no bulk download) at MIPS PlantsDB. Please read the
disclaimer and data release policy
carefully and contact Joyce Van Eck if you are uncertain about how to credit use of the annotation, sequence or its appropriate
use.
Please note that this release should still be considered preliminary and may be subject to frequent update and improvement ... so please make sure to check
this page often.
For questions regarding the MIPS Tomato database and its content please contact Manuel Spannagl.
∗∗∗UPDATE 22 February 2010: Pre-release VERSION 1.03 of the assembled draft genome sequence of Solanum lycopersicum cv. Heinz 1706 available∗∗∗
Beside VERSION 1.0, an updated version 1.03 of the assembled draft genome sequence of Solanum lycopersicum is now available for download. For details about changes and improvements please see 2010_01_22_public_stats.pdf in the download section and visit the RELEASE NOTES WEBSITE.
Pre-release of the assembled draft genome sequence of Solanum lycopersicum cv. Heinz 1706 VERSION 1.0
We are very pleased to announce the public pre-release of the assembled draft genome sequence of Solanum lycopersicum cv. Heinz 1706 in version 1.0.
Please note a few things:
- this assembly is the result of a French-Dutch assembly effort and
- the genome assemblies have not been thoroughly examined or reviewed and thus may contain errors and should be considered preliminary
- this data set will be updated on a regular basis over the next few weeks and months, so make sure to watch for updates and news on this site
- please read the disclaimer carefully and use the data provided here only in case you accept this data usage guidelines.
- bulk download of the assembled scaffold sequences in fasta format via FTP server - push the "Download sequence data" button below.
- BLAST your own sequence(s) against the latest assembled genome sequence data - click here (Only nucleotide sequence database available. Please choose for your search "Contig" in the database drop down menu.)
- Access the sequence data via BioMoby webservices - for more information, click here
In case of any problems with data retrieval or if you have questions regarding the data and/or data release policy please contact Manuel Spannagl.
Why sequence tomato?
Tomato serves as a model for nightshade plants
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum, formerly Lycopersicon esculentum) belongs to the family of Solanaceae (nightshade) which includes many agriculturally important crops (potato, tobacco, pepper, egg-plant) as well as ornamental plants and medicinals (Capsicum, Atropa belladonna). Tomato as well as many other nightshade plants evolved in South America.
