<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>
