I spent the last few days at a "retreat" for the Joint Genome Institute and heard about a few things there worth sharing with everyone. I will try and post about some of them in the next few days. Here is one. The JGI and the Center for Integrative Genomics have made a pretty cool tool for comparative analyses of plant genomes. It is called Phytozome and has a variety of simple and nice features. JGI is doing more and more work on plant genomes as part of their energy research and I think Phytozome could turn into a good place to go to get the latest plant genome information. Go to http://www.phytozome.net to see the real thing.

Just got this press release by email. I am sick of receiving dozens of unsolicited press releases, especially those in topics not related ...
That's a really nice resource! Great interface, too. Looking fwd to reading the paper describing the clustering algorithm. Is it distance-based?
ReplyDeleteA similar tool is OrthologID that uses a character-based phylogenetic framework to establish orthology.

dont know any more --- just posted the information about it --- I am not involved in making it
ReplyDeleteWow, clustering of extant genes to get ancient genome data, and all in one site! I'm sure this will be a great resource for my work. I also love the data retrieval service BioMart at Phytozome.
