If you have worked with the wheat or human genome, you are probably familiar with a typical long wait for getting BLAST search results for these quite large genomes. To save you some time, we have introduced a feature in Persephone Windows...
We have replaced an older Lucene search engine with a more advanced Apache Solr. We are very pleased with the results of the change: besides much improved response times for fetching the results, the indexing process is now 5 times faster. The search...
We have mapped ~ 700K marker sequences from Illumina's OmniExpress 24 v.1.3 onto the latest version of human genome GRCh38 and created a track (highlighted below). The marker sequences used for mapping are stored with the markers and can be visualized...
We have uploaded the version DM_v4.03 of the potato genome (Solanum tuberosum). Here is the list of tracks: Gene models predicted by GLEAN Public mRNA and EST from NCBI for potato were aligned to the genomic sequences using hisat2. This...
A new track with the latest annotation by NCBI's Gnomon (Feb.2019) pipeline has been added to Homo sapiens GRCh38 data set. See the bottom track on this picture. The gene models are sometimes quite different from the models in other tracks. Use...
We have loaded the potato genome (DM_v4.03) with multiple annotation tracks showing gene models, mapped markers and repeats. To help assessing the gene prediction quality, we downloaded 300,000 potato EST and mRNA sequences from NCBI and splice-aligned them to the genome....
This was our second year attending the largest Ag-Genomics meeting in the world in San Diego CA. Many thanks to all who stopped by our exhibit as well as those who attended Max Troukhan's talk at the IWGSC workshop (https://pag.confex.com/pag/xxvii/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/36359)...
We are pleased to welcome Mars Wrigley Confectionery into the growing community of Persephone users. We are looking forward to a fruitful collaboration that will make the work of Mars’ scientists more comfortable and productive, while allowing the Persephone team...
We thought, the users might want to rearrange the map set tree on the left by adding, removing or relocating the nodes. For example, as long as the current demo instance has a random set of genomes loaded, plant biologists may want to...
We have uploaded the wheat RH Maps (from IWGSC) with marker positions in cM. Persephone automatically links maps by common markers, so, if you align a chromosome map based on sequence with a corresponding genetic map, the tracks with markers...
