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...
The International Weed Genomics Consortium (IWGC) provides a platform for private and public collaboration to develop genomic tools and resources and to stimulate global research in weed biology and management. With their help, we picked 14 most popular weed genomes...
Our collection of coffee genomes has got another entry: Coffea canephora (DH200-94). All four coffee genomes are cross-linked by using the ortholog gene pairs. Chromosome 1 for four Coffea genomes: C. humblotiana, C. eugenioides, C. canehora, and C. arabica. The...
For each aligned NGS read, we have added a detailed view. If you click the read on a BAM/CRAM track, you will see the form with various properties of the read including the details of the mapping, the base qualities...
We are pleased to announce that The Kazusa DNA Research Institute has licensed Persephone. Our tool will be used at the Institute to provide services such as genome analysis of cultivated plants and related microorganisms, and development of practical technology...
A new work called "Chromosome-scale assembly of the wild wheat relative Aegilops umbellulata" has been published in Nature. The data for the genome of Aegilops umbellulata is hosted at the Persephone web portal. Two of our colleagues (Maxim Troukhan and Maksym...
