October 15
- Coordinates of miRNAs obtained from miRBase database are shown in the new track, "miRBase" in "RNAs" category.
- Alignments of the Illumina short-reads of Koshihikari genome are now available on Short-read Assembly Browser.
October 02
- We have updated manual curation data for an additional 19 transcripts (see update_2012-10-02.txt).
September 21
- We have updated CGSNL annotation and manual curation data (see update_2012-09-21.txt).
- New track for vegetative and reproductive stage specific sRNAs was added. The data was provided by Meng et al. of Hangzhou Normal University and is available on the download site.
July 19
- A new track for MSU gene annotation (MSU Osa1 Rice Gene Models) was added to GBrowse.
July 11
- We have updated the Minimum Tiling Path information in which a BAC clone (OSJNBb0018L01) was assigned a new accession number (AP011111.1).
- Unanchored sequences have been updated. The sequence errors were corrected by making use of next generation sequencing data. Through the correction procedure, three clones, AP008225.1 (OSJNOa109J19), AP008248.2 (B1326C05), and AP009051.1 (OSJNOa063K24), were discarded.
June 29
- New tool, "Build5 -> IRGSP-1.0 History (List)", is now available. Users can refer to the full list of change history showing whether exon/intron structure or sequences changed or not between Build5 and IRGSP-1.0 assemblies.
June 22
- New tracks, "Minimal Tiling Path" and "Centromere", have been added to GBrowse.
May 28
- New tool, "Build5 -> IRGSP-1.0 History (Search)", is now available. Users can search with Os-ID and check whether exon/intron structure or sequences changed or not between Build5 and IRGSP-1.0 assemblies.
April 11
- Sequence files for download were updated. Locus ID was added to the header line (>Osxxtxxxxxxx-xx|Osxxgxxxxxxx [Description]).
- Table of transcript-IDs and corresponding accession number and species name of transcript evidences is available on "Download" site (IRGSP-1.0_transcript-evidence_2012-04-11.txt.gz).
April 06
- New tracks for EST mapping data, "ESTs (Oryza)" and "ESTs (Other Poaceae)", were added to GBrowse.
- List of RAP Os-IDs and corresponding MSU's LOC_Os-IDs is available on "Download" site (RAP-MSU.txt.gz).
March 26
- We corrected the description of UTR for 82 transcripts (see update_2012-03-22.txt)
March 15
- "BLAT" is now available.
- "Batch Retrieval" is now available.
- "ID Converter" is now available.
- Annotation data has been updated. Manually curated annotation information was added to 97 genes (105 transcripts). In addition, we corrected some errors including ORF mis-prediction and incorrect locus coordinates, and discarded five loci (see update_2012-03-15.txt).
- A new track for SSR sequences is available.
January 11
- New tracks for flanking sequence tag (FST) sequences from eight sources were added to GBrowse.
- Short-read Assembly Browser has been opened. New track for Illumina sequences of Guangluai-4 was added to GBrowse and links to the Short-read Assembly Browser.
2011
December 12
- SEARCH is now available.
December 05
- BLAST search is now available.
- GFF & sequence files of gene sets were updated.
- New tracks for OMAP BAC-end sequences were added to GBrowse.
- RNA-seq reads from 20 abiotic stress conditions and 7 tissues were mapped to the Os-Nipponbare-Reference-IRGSP-1.0.
November 18
- Sequence files were updated, and can be obtained from the download site.
October 31
Here we provide a beta version of our updated annotation using the Os-Nipponbare-Reference-IRGSP-1.0 (IRGSP-1.0), a new genome assembly constructed as a joint collaboration of RAP and the MSU Rice Genome Annotation Project. The IRGSP sequences were re-examined using ~44X coverage sequence reads obtained by next-generation sequencers, so that many sequencing errors have been thoroughly corrected. In the present era of massive genome sequencing, the high-quality reference sequence of the rice genome will be more valuable to meet the demands of biodiversity studies and to enhance our understanding of major cereal crops.
