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. ...
We have loaded three genomes for blueberry species (Vaccinium corymbosum and Vaccinium darrowii).There are two haploid Vaccinium darrowii genomes (pri and alt). Only one of them (pri) has gene annotation. To align the two genomes, we have created artificial marker...
Encouraged by communication with the scientists at the Plant and Animal Genome conference, we loaded another large genome (Avena sativa ,11 Gbp) to the Persephone portal. The version PepsiCo v2 OT3098 was downloaded from GrainGenes. Currently, the tracks with gene...
This year, the Persephone team enjoyed a great amount of attention at the Plant and Animal Genome conference in San Diego, both in our two workshop presentations as well as at the exhibition. At our exhibit booth, we've had the opportunity...
