Workshop Agenda

About the workshop

The Gramene database is an integrated resource for comparative genome and functional analysis in plants. The database provides agricultural researchers and plant breeders with valuable biological information on genomes and plant pathways of numerous crops and model species - including maize - thus enabling powerful comparisons across species. During this workshop, we will demonstrate how to navigate the website and review the available resources at Gramene, including the newly curated pathways and orthologous pathway projections in the Plant Reactome, and the capabilities of the independent Expression Atlas resource for gene expression. In addition, we will introduce a new search tool and web interface that helps users search, interpret and explore our data. Besides maize, the current data release of Gramene contains an additional 38 reference genomes including sorghum, rice, wheat, barley, soybean, Arabidopsis, Brassicas, poplar, medicago, tomato, potato, banana, cocoa, peach, grapevine, Amborella, spikemoss, and algae. In recent years, Gramene has positioned itself as a resource for genome variation data, with focus on maize, rice, and Arabidopsis. The current release includes the maize HapMap2 (~55 million SNPs in 104 lines) and Panzea's 2.7 GBS (~720K SNPs in 16,718 lines) variation data sets. In the last year, we added new variation in barley, wheat, a wild species of rice, and EMS-induced mutations in sorghum. Also, maize specific annotation tracks include MAKER-P gene models, methylome signatures, genomewide long non-coding RNAs, and nascent transcriptomes. Besides curated rice pathways, the Plant Reactome incorporates pathway projections to 58 plant species, including maize, peanut ancestors, and the common bean. This workshop is open to the community of plant researchers and breeders; beginners, as well as frequent users of the Gramene database alike are welcome and encouraged to join. Attendees may bring their own data to work with during the workshop. Gramene is supported by an NSF grant IOS-1127112, and partially from USDA-ARS (1907-21000-030-00D).
