We keep adding new features to Persephone. In the Summer Update, we introduced DNA motif search and the tools for analysis of variation in a given genomic region. DNA motif search This feature has been designed to help answer challenging questions...
We have added a new set of SNPs for the wheat genome (IWGSC v2.1). The VCF file with the variants (ExomeCapture) was downloaded from https://zenodo.org/records/7852690. According to the description of the dataset at Variations - WHEAT URGI (inra.fr), "VCF file of 2,799,166...
A simple trick will help you opening the web version of Persephone as an application in its own browser window. This will add some extra space for the application as the address and the bookmark bars will be hidden: Saving Persephone...
We're pleased to extend a warm welcome to Starke Ayres at the Persephone club! Starke Ayres stands as the largest independent vegetable seed company in South Africa, catering to both commercial and consumer markets. Established in 1877, the company boasts a...
In addition to the popular versions of the Human genome, such as GRCh38 or CHM13v2, we now host full assemblies for 96 individuals from the Human pangenome. The sequences were downloaded from NCBI. Unlike the well-annotated data sets, the sequences...
A small but useful feature has been added: changing some properties of quantitative tracks can be applied to all visible tracks that belong to the same group. This can be done with the scaling (log, square root, linear), normalization (by...
We are excited to announce the new version of Persephone which brings major feature updates. A bird's-eye view of the genome is shown when a map set is selected. If the application's main background space is empty, it will show a...
We added three genomes of ryegrass. Two of them (Kyuss_39 and Kyuss v2.0) are two versions of the same variety. The new version (Kyuss v2.0) represents a much-improved assembly of the doubled haploid perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) genotype Kyuss....
As you probably know, in Greek mythology, the Persephone story has something to do with the pomegranate seeds. So, we are especially pleased to work with Punica granatum. We added two genomes: ASM765513v2 assembled into chromosomes and Bhagwa which contains...
Two genomes of Cenchrus americanus (pearl millet) sequenced at KAUST have been added to our collection. These are 29Aw and P10 varieties. Each map set has a number of annotation tracks with gene models, protein matches and iso-seq data. ...
