Gramene Newsletter

[Claire Hebbard]

The March/April newsletter is now available online in both HTML and 
PDF formats at http://www.gramene.org/newsarchive.html. The PDF 
version offers a few extras that you won't get on the html version.

The current newsletter contains:

In appreciation of Plant Breeding - a summary of the North American 
Wheat Workers' Workshop
Gramene's Brachypodium Species page
Community news - including an important book release
Upcoming Gramene Outreach events and a presentation
FAQ from our users
Community Calendar
Opportunities - RFPs and upcoming deadlines
Recommended reading from the Gramene curators.

Please consider submitting articles to the newsletter. Informal 
articles about your current research, a current workshop, or how you 
use web resources are only a few ideas.  Contact us if you have 
questions.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
The Gramene Database Team


*****************************************************************
Gramene(www.gramene.org) is a curated, open-source, web-accessible 
data resource for comparative genome analysis in the grasses. Our 
goal is to facilitate the study of cross-species homology 
relationships using information derived from public projects involved 
in genomic and EST sequencing, protein structure and function 
analysis, genetic and physical mapping, interpretation of biochemical 
pathways, gene and QTL localization and descriptions of phenotypic 
characters and mutations.

*****************************************************************
This work is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the
USDA-Agricultural Research Service, and was previously funded by the USDA
Initiative for Future Agriculture and Food Systems (IFAFS). We are thankful
to numerous collaborators and contributors for help in curation and for
sharing their datasets and tools.
