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...
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....
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...
According to wheatgenome.org, all data related to the reference sequence of bread wheat, IWGSC RefSeq v1.0, are available without restriction. We would like to use this opportunity to demonstrate the abilities of the web version of Persephone, a tool specifically designed to deal with...
We are exploring the new web technologies. Our first version of Persephone for Web will run in a browser using WebGL. Our first experiments have shown impressive results. The plan is to release it in December. The pilot version will work...
