Title
Gramene - Comparative Plant Genomics Database Workshop
Event Info
Maize Genetics Conference 2014
Date/Time
Thursday, 13 March 2014, 4:00 - 6:00 PM local Beijing time
Venue
Beijing International Convention Center, Room 308
Organizer
Marcela Karey Monaco


Workshop Agenda

4:00 PM - Introduction to the Gramene Website

4:30 PM - Browsing and Comparing Genomes Using the Gramene Ensembl Browser

5:00 PM - Plant Pathways & Gene Expression Analysis in Gramene

5:30 PM - Plant Reactome


About the workshop

The Gramene database (http://www.gramene.org) is a curated resource for comparative functional genomic analysis in plants. The database provides agricultural researchers and plant breeders with very valuable biological and genomic information on several crops and model plant species, including maize. Gramene's web interface provides information on genetic and physical maps, sequences, genes, genetic variation data, RNA-seq and microarray expression data, proteins, genetic markers, mutants, QTLs, controlled ontology vocabularies biological pathways, scientific citations, and provides displays and tools that integrate these various types of information, so that the user may visually make comparisons between the diverse genomes.

This workshop will review the available data sets at Gramene and provide demonstration of how to use our tools to answer various biological and research questions. Attendees will learn about the types of data available at Gramene, get tips on navigating the website, and use the database and tools to find data for their own projects. The workshop will feature a maize demo session on how to search the Gramene databases using various tools (simple search, Gramene Mart, BLAST), download the data to a personal computer, upload custom data for analysis, visualization and making publication-quality figures.

The workshop is geared for the community of plant researchers and breeders; beginners, as well as frequent users of the Gramene database alike. Attendees may also wish to bring their own data to work with during the workshop.
