Vigna unguiculata (cowbean) genome loaded

We have added the genome of Vigna unguiculata v1.2 (cowbean) with gene annotation to our web version of Persephone. The calculated orthologs between cowbean and soybean genes allow visualizing the synteny intervals between the two genomes. We also downloaded the low-resolution set of “ribbon-like” connectors from legumefederation.org that give a somewhat cleaner picture of genome comparison.
