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).
