The newly added feature that allows instant BLASTN comparison of aligned sequences can be applied to an interactive sequence comparison for multiple accessions of the infamous coronavirus COVID-19. We also added bat RaTG13 and bat-SL-CoVZC45 coronaviruses and an older SARS-CoV to the...
We are introducing a new feature that allows to compare nucleotides of aligned maps with one click. First, open two maps to be compared. The lines that connect common markers or homologous genes will help you locate syntenic regions. Zoom...
We rolled out a new version of Web Persephone with major feature upgrade: the users can upload their own tracks, and we made sure that all possible optimizations necessary to achieve maximum performance are in place. The system should handle...
This week's addition is a pair of citrus genomes: C.sinensis (sweet orange) and (pomelo). We uploaded the genomic sequences with annotation tracks to the Desktop and Web versions. As usual, a routine alignment of syntenic chromosomes reveals large structural rearrangements. We...
We continue to support and learn from the largest International Plant and Animal Genome meeting in San Diego CA. Many thanks to all who stopped by our exhibit. This year was special for us because we were able to showcase a...
The update has a few technical improvements that make loading the marker data much faster. This is done by storing and transmitting the markers in specially-compressed binary blobs. The Synteny matrix has now an improved responsiveness, partially due to more efficient...
In addition to an older Wm82.a2.v1, we have now the version Wm82.a4.v1 of the soybean genome. We added the new data set to the Desktop and to the Web versions. Connecting similar genes helps visualizing the changes between the two...
We have downloaded the assembly and annotation of the reference tomato genome version SL4.0, as well as other tomato varieties such as M82 or FLA.8924. The data is coming from http://solgenomics.net. For now, the new map set has the following tracks: ...
Please check the "About Persephone" page: we updated the text by adding a Dataflow section that describes the typical data types and file formats of the source data understood by our loader program PersephoneShell. We thought that it would serve...
We expanded our repository of public genomes by adding one more genome assembly with annotation: corn cultivar Mo17. Aligning it with AGPv4 B73 maps reveals structural variations between the two cultivars.Please follow this link to see this example in the...
