The Gramene database (http://www.gramene.org) 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, 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. Finally, we will showcase the use of long-read sequencing technology to improve reference genome resources. 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. The current data release of Gramene contains 39 reference genomes including rice, maize, wheat, barley, soybean, Arabidopsis, Brassicas, poplar, medicago, tomato, potato, banana, cocoa, peach, grapevine, Amborella, spikemoss and algae. In addition to curated rice pathways, the Plant Reactome incorporates pathway projections to 58 plant species, including 2 wild peanut ancestors and the common bean.
