[Gramene-announce] Gramene 28 released

[Ken Youens-Clark]

We are happy to announce the second release of the Gramene database  
for 2008.  This release (#28) includes upgrades to the latest released  
versions for our Ensembl genome browser (version 50) and CMap (1.01)  
comparative map viewer.  We also now have a new web services page (http://www.gramene.org/documentation/web_services.html 
) that outlines the many ways to access Gramene's databases  
programmatically.  Our markers database includes updated sequences  
from GenBank and EST cluster libraries from NCBI, TGI, MMP and PUT, as  
well as several new microarray data sets.  Our genes database features  
several new iron-uptake genes, and both our Pathways database and  
genome browser now boast 10 species.  Please note that our Mart  
service will be available in October.
