PlantGDB News:

Community-annotated maize gene models (see an example at ZmGDB) are now displayed at both MaizeGDB and maizesequence.org, by means of Distributed Annotation Service (DAS) (November 21, 2009).

Brachypodium distachyon browser: BdGDB, a genome browser for the model grass species Brachypodium distachyon, is now available, based on the JGI v1.0 8x genome assembly. The assembly displayed comprises 271.15 Mb arranged in 5 pseudochromosomes. Display includes gene models, splice-aligned EST, cDNA, PUT assembly and Arabidopsis and rice predicted proteins (October 30, 2009).

ASpipe



Description: ASpipe is a pipeline to process GeneSeqer/GMAP alignments and identify alternative splicing (AS) events from the alignments.

Citation: Wang, B.-B., O'Toole, M., Brendel, V. & Young, N.D. (2008) Cross-species EST alignments reveal novel and conserved alternative splicing events in legumes. BMC Plant Biol. 8:17. [PubMed ID: 18282305] [PDF]

Web Implementations: ASIP @ PlantGDB is a web site displaying alternative splicing events derived from ASpipe applications to plant genomes.
