The Gramene database (http://www.gramene.org) is a curated, open-source, web-accessible data resource for comparative genome analysis in plants. The database provides agricultural researchers and plant breeders with very valuable biological and genomic information on several crops and model plant species. Gramene's web interface provides information on genetic and physical maps, sequences, genes, RNA-seq/microarray expression data, proteins, genetic markers, mutants, QTLs, controlled vocabularies and scientific citations, genetic variation data, biological pathways, and provides displays and tools that integrate these various types of information, so that the user may visually make comparisons between the diverse genomes.
This workshop will review the available data sets at Gramene and provide demonstration of how to use our tools to answer various biological and research questions. Attendees will learn about the types of data available at Gramene, get tips on navigating the website, and use the database and tools to find data for their own projects. The workshop will feature a demo session on barley, a uniquely organized genome, as well as introduce the new Plant Reactome, a platform for the comparative analysis of plant metabolic and regulatory networks. The workshop is geared for the community of plant researchers and breeders; beginners, as well as frequent users of the Gramene database alike. Attendees may also wish to bring their own data to work with during the workshop.
