<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Ontologies: The Ontologies
database has grown with additional information, and has a few minor
changes in the display.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Genes: Several hundred genes
have map positions on commonly used genetic maps, as well as the
Gramene annotated Nipponbare Sequence 2006. In addition, the detail
view for a gene has been enhanced to provide more
information.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">QTL: Additions include

<div><font color="#000000">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.</font></div>
