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).

ParsEval



Description: ParsEval is a program for comparing two sets of gene structure annotations (provided as GFF3 files) for the same genomic region. Comparison statistics are calculated for each genic region, as well as for the entire region overall. If the user has installed GenomeTools, then ParsEval can also create graphical output showing the genomic context of the two sets of annotations.
